So, here is the halfway mark. 41 days until the race and I feel OK. I'm not going to lie and say I feel great, but all in all I have been doing well. Recently I have been having some sleeping problems that have been nagging me, and that is making it harder to get motivated in the morning.
I completed my for half-marathon distance run this past weekend and I felt better than expected. I finished in 1:50 (8:40/mile) and burned 2001 calories. I was tired later in the night, but not as wiped as expected.
So, the biggest issues heading into the second half of my training are:
- Burning through water weight. Currently I'm losing about 5lbs per 10 miles.
- Learning what foods react best with my body for runs. I don't want to eat the wrong thing and need to go to the bathroom 5 miles into the race.
- Breaking in my new running shoes. I just ordered 2 new pairs of NB Minimus 2's through Tori's work.
So, that's it in a nutshell. I just need to keep training (with more core workouts) and push the next distance. Unfortunately I just saw that its supposed to snow AGAIN this weekend!
I ran with MapMyRun! Distance: 3.00mi, time: 26:00, pace: 8:40min/mi, speed: 6.92mi/h. http://mapmyrun.com/profile/JMontiverdi</div>
