I haven't posted much about me lately, but most of my friends and family know that I started training for my first Half Marathon a few months ago. The race is quickly approaching and training is going ok (although exhausting with a 1 year old, working full time and trying to maintain my household and marriage!)
Last week I ran my first long race in preparation for the Rock and Roll 1/2 marathon. I ran the Seattle's Best 15k that started at Gas Works Park. It was a perfect long race for training - the course was flat and the scenery was beautiful. It really got me motivated and actually somewhat excited for the Rock and Roll race on June 25th!!
My goal was to finish the race (9.3 miles) with a pace of about 11 min/mile since I had never run this far before (my furthest training run prior to this was only 6.75 miles..) I exceeded this goal and finished the race with a pace of 9:44!! I didn't walk ONCE the entire race! Now only a few more weeks of training before the big day.. I'm getting kind of burnt out on running, so it will be nice to be done training and start doing some other activities instead once the race is over.
In case anyone cares .. here's my official standings from the race:
