So I was just reading some comments about my last post and thinking about some things and thought I might as well post them rather than wait until tomorrow (when I won't remember them anyway). I'm glad I went back and read Lybi's race report from las April. It was helpful. I'm trying to convince Seth to run the race with me but I think he'd prefer not to. Plus it is really hard for him to find time to run. He really only has time Friday and Saturday and I don't think running twice a week is great preparation for a race (even though some have pointed out that many people run these kinds of races with no real training). Anyway, I'm not going to push him too hard. But at least he is being very supportive and encouraging about me doing this race. Anyway, I was thinking about the ways in which I'm going to get ready for this race. I have been pretty consistent in my running for a while (even though I haven't been consistent in my blogging. Oops). Unfortunately though I haven't really been improving much. I've been running 1 to 1.5 miles between 11:30 and 11:00 pace. But in order to get ready for this race I'm going to have to get more serious. So by the end of this week I want to be running 2 miles and maybe in another week or two 3. I'm pretty sure I can even get to running 4 miles before the race. So that's my goal. Start running 4 miles a day by the week of the race. The race is on March 22 so if I can run 4 miles by the 17th or 19th I'll be pretty happy. Go me!
