Post by: Plugging Along on August 15, 2015, 12:50:09 PM: Half marathon race.

Hot, humid, sunny, hot, humid and hot. Did I mention it was hot?

I had my lucky hat with ice under it and a water bottle with ice water in it.

The ice was gone by mile 4. The sun wasn't.

First 4 miles at about 8:40 pace, next 8 miles at 10:22 pace, closing 1.1 at 9 flat.

The strong last mile got me home in just under 2:08.

Year's first run over 10 miles, so it's all good.

Time to resupply the carbs with chicken strips and curly fries. Urp.

Yoiks, I hope you started at four am!
It is disgustingly hot and humid in the Sconnie Naton today.

Post by: kevin871 on August 15, 2015, 07:23:40 PM: 8.1 miles including:

3-mile warm up
5 x 1000 meters with 3-minute rests
2-mile cool down

Hot day for speedwork, and I missed most of my times by a few seconds. On the fourth interval, 3 thugs on bikes rode up right behind me, and one of them screamed in my ear and thought it was funny. I was too exhausted and startled to do anything, which was probably a good thing.

Congrats PA. Raj--amazing performance.

4 miles on the treadmill, inside. I hate the treadmill, but it was cooler inside.

I intended to only do 13.
Could've easily kept going to 15. Which now has me thinking that I should just suck it up and train for a marathon.
