ran to a race today. Happy with the results 9:44 pace for miles 10-14. I had one slow mile at 11:30 for the 3rd mile of the race which dragged down my pace quite a bit. Felt good overall.
Ran 0.5 miles from home before I realized I forgot my chip and had to go back home...then when I got to the race just at 9:00 on the nose I noticed it wasn't a chipped race, but an RFID tag so I had to go pick up my number. What a pain in the ass.
Loved running with the new HRM - kept up my cadence around 80 - a little slow from what I read online but something I now know I can work on. I'm going to have to get Josh to show me how he posts the cool graphs and uses the software if we ever manage to get together before the marathon.
Overall I basically ran the 13.1 half this week in a little over 2hrs. I'm happy with that and will run the Queens race next weekend. I really see the value in the gels I carry with me as I can feel the difference when I start to run low.
Knees are quite sore tonight so I'll take a couple of days to rest and maybe do one run this week on the treadmill. Need to look carefully at the plan for the next 7 weeks to get the mileage up to the level needed prior to the marathon in Nov.
