Half Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

Maybe someday I'll have something noteworthy to post in this section. I have only completed three 5ks and a 5 miler; all at an average pace somewhere in the 9:00-9:30min/mile range

Painter's Half 2010 - 2:03:54

Short-Term Running Goals:

Painter's Half Marathon - would like to keep an average pace of 9:00min/mile.

Painter's Half - Went over my goal and finished in 2:03:54 :( It was my first half though. I had a great time and learned what I need to work on.

Salt Lake Half Marathon - would like to finish in under 2 hours.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Would like to complete a full marathon in the fall of 2010 and finally conquer the Herriman Hill...to be honest, there are several hills in Herriman I'd love to conquer, but that one for sure!

Personal:

I am a stay-at-home mother, married and have two young boys.

Total Distance

5.00

5.0 TM miles. Warm up at a 9:30 pace for 1/2 a mile. 9:00 pace for the next 2 miles. 8:30 pace for the next mile. 8:00 pace for the last 1 1/2 miles. My blister is completely healed so no problems there.

I'm getting really excited for Painters and gaining a little bit of confidence that I might be able to run it faster than originally planned. I felt really comfortable running at an 8:00-8:30 pace. Of course that was on a TM with only a 1.0% incline. We shall see!

You are going to do great! There may be some uphills in the race, but there are just as many downhills that you can FLY down. I really think you are going to be FAST!

Did you want to run at all on Saturday?

I am so glad the blisters are doing better, i can not imagine blisters on that part of my foot. OUCH!

Yea for healed blisters! If you felt comfortable at an 8-8:30 on the TM you will FLY on race day. Race days are SO SO different from training runs...you will be completely blown away at how well you do!! I'll keep my prediction to myself so as not to scare you :) But...it's under 2 hours...

Rachel, you confused me. I kept reading my e-mails wondering why you were saying lower!!!

I have given her my prediction, she can do it (if not even better than I guessed!)

I thought you might be confused, but I knew you'd figure it out :) So, I'll PM you what I think she'll finish and we'll have to compare notes!
