Ten miles plus in the rain today on the flat Greenbelt trail by the Santa Rosa Creek. 44:59 out, and jammed it on the way back at a jaunty rhythm to 1:26:30. I'm getting fit. I turn 60 in a couple months! I have my eye on my half marathon PR of 1:44:35 for 2017. We'll see how it goes.
OK here I am with an update... I ran 1:42:45 for a personal best in the Brazen Racing Victory Half Marathon at the Richmond Marina. But darn, I was on pace for 1:40 until the last 3 miles. Yup, I hit the wall and dragged it in slow!
That being the case, I rested 2 days and jumped back into training. I'm going to run the Zoom Quarry Lakes Half Marathon on March 18, two days after the aforementioned birthday. I'm going to taper and look for a slower first six miles, then we'll see what I can do. Am I excited? YES! But I'm focused on being relaxed too!
Please note, I am not doing Oaxaca Running Tours at present, cause I'm not there. After 9 years running the mountains north of town, I'm stuck outside of San Francisco with the Oaxaca blues again. Aww, it ain't so bad in truth.
