Sorry I never wrote about my half marathon- it was awesome!! I finished in 1:58:25, which for me was a thrill because it was under 2 hours... and I loved the experience of racing. Now I am really excited about the marathon!
I have been having pretty good runs all week. I did some RIDICULOUS hill training on Tuesday in poudre canyon. BIG hills... small mountains :) Wednesday was a recovery day, so just a 30 minute easy run. Thursday, we had group hill training- just intervals up this loooong but steady climb behind the university stadium. It's a good thing I am doing all this hill training, because they posted the course for Seattle and miles 14-19 are ALL hills... eek. Who is responsible for making these courses anyway?? Clearly, NOT someone who is intending to run them....
Today we had a little easter/recommitment celebration post run- Alex (the team hero) came to cheer us on (see photo) and Mary made us all breakfast burritos and little easter basket treats... what a great mentor she has been. Today was a 2 hour run and I got in 13.7 miles! That is the furthest I have EVER run in my entire life! And it felt DAMN good!!!
