Event: Madison Half Marathon
 

5-6 strides.

Happy :) Best I've felt in a really long time!
4/1342 females. Overall - 63/2192. Age group - 2/136.
Upper 30's at the start and 12mph wind. First half tailwind, second half headwind.
Rolling hills. One long killer hill (7:20ish mile). Uphill finish too, I was depleted by then.
6:35-6:58-6:34-6:45-6:48-6:40-7:01-6:45-7:23-6:42-6:53-6:57-7:04-6:32 pace for the last .23.
Dad walked the half, very proud of him! I think I started something, he's talking about future races. Yay!

C • Great race! 3

Normally would have done yesterday's workout today, but I knew we would be up late last night and it'd be a long day today with a fair amount of walking around.
Off to Madison soon! Nervous and excited!

Easy run with 6 strides.
Felt light on my feet.
1 shooting star!
Now a 6 hour drive to Appleton.
48 hours to race day. Fuel up, rest and stay positive!
There was a great saying by Jillian Michaels on my running desk calendar this week:
Your legs are not giving out. You head is giving up. Keep going.....

C • Good luck! 3

Another planned rest day. Probably good though. Cold symptoms back again Monday, but started perking back up yesterday afternoon. Thank goodness, short lived again! Feeling pretty good today!

Chilly.

5 minute warm up, then 10 sprints at 30 seconds each with a 90 second recovery between each. Recovery pace was 8.5 mph and the sprints started at 10mph and got up to 12mph. (10-10.5-10.5-10.5-11-11-11.5-11.5-12-12).
Fun! Short!...but it is a taper week.

Planned rest day.
