Re: 1/2 marathon trainers Jan 13th

 

Joe- With only a few weeks before the next 1/2 I am planning on simply maintaining my training level. I ran 6 yesterday, and hope to get in at least 6 more tomorrow morning on my King holiday off. I don't plan on running more than 10 miles at a time before the half. I didn't run more than eleven before Disney and it worked just fine. Hoped to finish that in 2:30 and actually finished in 2:21. My only fear is that at Gasparilla (for the non-Floridians it is a celebration of the landing in Tampa of Jose Gaspar the pirate in the 1780's. This coming weekend is an arts festival. The weekend of the 8-9 are the races) the 1/2 and full marathon run simultaneously for the first 7 miles. I'm sure that it will slow things down for a little while. In reality, I cannot shoot for too good a finishing goal until the race is happening and I can see how crowded it is. I will have my Garmin 205 giving me mile splits, so that should keep me fairly consistent.

 

 

LSpence- Hope this doesn't come off badly, but I am not nor have ever been a girl. I will happily accept "Go Guy". The temps are actually in the 40's tonight but will warm back into the 60's tomorrow.

 

 

For those in the colder than cold north, please tell me you run in more than I saw on tv tonight in Green Bay. Hope this gets pasted into the new week's discussion.
