Whoa, 1:23 Half Requires Serious Training

23, May 2009

First things first, some of the Healthy Kidney 10k pictures from Brightroom are up on their site. http://www.brightroom.com/view_event.asp?EVENTID=47214. Here are mine. So far, the only thing I’ve been able to deduce from viewing various race photos, is that I was in excruciating pain throughout the entire race…

I ran about 8 miles this morning, with the middle four at a quicker pace (just under 7min pace) and the bookends at around 9 min. By 11am, it was just plain hot out, probably mid-70’s but it felt hotter because of the sun, which made for less than favorable conditions. Still, a good run while I’m getting back into the swing of things.

I just did a little research into what it would take to pull off a NY Marathon qualifying half on Aug 16th (13.1 miles in 1hr 23min)…
