Yesterday was the big day! All the training - which wasn't that much...wasn't all for nothing. We finished and I was able to finish fairly strong too.
My running mojo finally kicked in during May. Most of our training runs felt pretty good, but we didn't have enough time to log decent long runs like we should, but we did log more miles in May than in April and definitely more than March. So I'm okay about that. I know that we'll have to get the longer runs on the weekends in, but fortunately we'll have lots of time to do that for Runner's World in the mean time.
For our first real big race of the year - one that we both are running I was pretty excited. Since this was the first one since the Hop Hop at the end of March I wasn't feeling terribly confident. I know that I should have a better attitude about my abilities, but sometimes I fall back into the old routine of feeling not so good about my running. In the end, I think I did alright - I paced myself quite a bit which in the end made for my slowest half marathon yet at 3:20:01. Now I know what to shoot for at See Jane Run. If I can take 10 minutes off this time I'll be happy. Then I can really focus on making RW my PR!
Retired at the end of 2020. Been trying to find my way since then. Twenty-Six years at the same job is hard to get over! In the last few months in a new space doing non-farm life (a story for another time) I have re-discovered my love for sewing - more specifically quilts. Come back to see what might be hiding here. I may post a photo or two ;)
