Training

Well, it’s almost July. Training for me is going pretty well. I know I said I would have my schedule up by now, but I am slacking on that. I seem to have a schedule in my head, but I need to put it down on paper. I have been running on a regular basis, even without the schedule.

Last week I put in about 15 miles: 3.5, 4.2, 7.4 miles. I am keeping my pace for the 3 and 4 milers around 8 minutes/mile. Pace for the 7.5 was about 8:45/mile; although it was a bit slower than I would like my pace to be for the half marathon, I felt really good after the run, which was awesome for me (normally feel like poo.) I expect to see the times come down as longer mileage is added.

This week I am planning on cutting back on mileage and doing some speed work. We shall see how that goes...
