I'm going to focus on the three half marathons I'm planning to do over the next 12 weeks and work on getting myself a PR at one of the races (hopefully the 3M Half Marathon on January 29th). So I'm running 5 days a week, cross training 1 day and having one rest day.
Tuesdays: Speed and Hills
Wednesday: Body Pump and Run (short)
Thursdays: Tempo Run
Fridays: Pace Run
Saturdays: Rest
Sunday: Long Run
Um yeah, about that... Since November 21st I have logged just 102 miles running. That means, for 10 weeks I've barely averaged 10 miles a week. Ugh. Between Thanksgiving, Christmas and my heel "injury" I just haven't put in the effort. I have no excuses, I just didn't do the work.
I haven't trained on one hill, and I haven't run longer than 7.85 miles since my last half on December 11th. That's a HARSH reality. Nevertheless, I have made the decision to run 3M on Sunday and do it to the best of my ability.
It may not be my fastest half (Pittsburgh Half Marathon, May 2010: 2:09:20):
And hopefully it won't be my slowest (Decker Half Marathon, December 2010: 2:21:06):
I'm just hoping to have fun (like I most ALWAYS do at races)
But don't worry I'm not taking it easy. I plan on giving it everything I've got, I just have no idea what that will be come Sunday. I guess we'll all find out together. If you're up there running gods, please be on my side.
