Week in Review

I did not do a very good job at getting my runs in this week.  Monday and Tuesday were really busy at work.  Wednesday I headed to Indiana for a trip with my dad.  On Thursday I ran 4K in 40mins on the treadmill at the Best Western in Lapeer Michigan.  It was a slow run, as my legs were not happy to have been off them for 3 days. 
On Saturday I ran 5.29K in 42mins.  On Sunday I ran 13.79K in 1hour and 53mins with the running group.  It is officially one week until our goal race of the Springbank 1/2 Marathon.

Springbank 1/2 Marathon

Today I ran the Springbank 1/2 Marathon in 2:48:27.  I am disappointed in this time as I was really hoping for 2hours and 45mins.  I am not sure where I went wrong, I was just slower then I wanted to be.

13.81K Run

This morning I ran 13.81K in 1hour and 59mins with the running group.  It was a nice cool morning.  Hopefully it is nice and cool next Sunday for the Springbank 1/2 Marathon.  This afternoon we went shopping for a new running hat for myself as my old one is really really smelly.  I bought a Nike Daybreak Running Cap for Mountain Equipment Coop,

Monday: Labour Day!  6K Run
Tuesday: Rest Day (BBQ after work)
Wednesday: 4K Run
Thursday: 5K Run with Running Group

21.43K Port Stanley Run

This morning I ran 21.43K to Port Stanley in 2hours and 54mins with the running group.  I was not feeling very strong during my run, therefore it was much slower then I had hoped.  It was pretty warm out which did not help with my speed.  Hopefully it cools down by Sept 9th for the Springbank 1/2 Marathon.

Springbank 1/2 Marathon!



Today I ran my first 1/2 Marathon.  I ran the Springbank 1/2 Marathon in 3 hours, 6 minutes and 10 seconds!  I am pretty happy with that result considering I did not have an ideal training week leading up to the race, due to a number of reason.  I had no issues with my foot today just the regular aches and pains that come from running that distance.

Me at the starting line!
The first portion was a loop around back through the start, so this is around 2.5K
This is just before the 4K mark
Around the 19K

Tuesday: Rest Day
Wednesday: 5K Run
Thursday: Rest Day
Friday: 4K Run
Saturday: 6K Run
Sunday: Rest Day
Since our running group is now done I will have to create my own training schedule for the Halloween Haunting 10K run on October 30th.
