AthHalf
The AthHalf was yesterday, and man was it such a fun race! I set a secret, really lofty goal of averaging somewhere in the 7′s for the race but I was pretty sure I’d not be able to accomplish anywhere close to it. Surprise, I finished with an average of 7:54/mile and a total time of 1:43! This was a PR by over 10 minutes for the Half.
The time aside, it was just a stellar experience. The weather was perfect, there were just enough aggressive hills to make you really work for it, and The Boy running it with me was a game changer. I really felt my legs working for me and the miles glided by.
While I’m still SUPER scared to dive into Ultra distance, I feel more like my training is paying off and that it will be possible to be ready by February. Running has my heart and I can’t wait to keep pushing.
