Day 33 - Closing in on my first half-marathon training run

As I get closer the the race I find myself getting more aggressive with my average speed.  In this run I was trying to stay a bit slower and I was fighting ice and snow.  Its a good thing the conditions are so crappy because it is helping me slow down a bit.

I recieved an email today from the BAA to confirm my personal information.  It said we are 7 weeks out and they need to make sure we are aware that a package will be coming from them with some important information.  This will include our pickup ticket for our number.  We cant pick up our numbers until the weekend before the race.  I am looking into getting a hotel room so that I dont have to drive to Boston that morning to get on a bus and come back to Hopkinton.

We are watching the NFL combine right now and I cant imagine running as fast as these guys.  Running a 4.34 40 yard dash is crazy.  I would be happy if I could run an 8.00 40. 

I ran with MapMyRun! Distance: 9.20mi, time: 01:24:03, pace: 9:08min/mi, speed: 6.57mi/h. http://mapmyrun.com/view_route?r=5136131263622545409
