Racing this Weekend
Posted by nathan on 24 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: my life.
I am getting very anxious to run my half-marathon this weekend.
This will be my first half-marathon in 10 years–and I’m not going to be even remotely close to my time back then.
This week I’ve been tapering my workouts (running less distance, less speed) in order to feel really great come Saturday morning.
I said earlier this year I was telling myself my goal was 2:15, while more realistically my goal was really to break 2 hours. After some great workouts with Isaac the past several months, I’m not shooting to hit 1:50. Running for an hour and 50 minutes straight!
Sweet.
Then in a month or so, Isaac and I (and maybe Jason) will take on a 5K race, where we will annihilate our old-man PRs. (I don’t plan on ever touching my high school or college race times ever again.)
Wish me luck! I’ll report back on how things went, too.
