I rolled up my #running stats for the first three months of the year.
Glad to see a slow increase in my cadence (SPM). I have been trying to improve that.
Total kilometers of running is certainly increasing.
I have been following the Hal Higdon Marathon intermediate plan. So far, so good. I have been doing a better job this year in actually taking rest days when I am suppose to.
Half marathon coming up in about two weeks. Current HM PB is 2:21 (6:36 KM pace). I hope to do better than that.
This morning's run let me go see the cherry blossom's in Washington D.C.! Does not get much better than that. I enjoy everyone's posts that include pictures... but I don't run with my phone... usually. As my hotel room key is now my phone, I had to take it on the morning run and decided to snap a few pictures along the route. I am hoping on tomorrow's long run to push up the Mall a bit further.
I've been following one of the Hal Higdon plans for marathon prep and observe a rest day on Fridays. Oddly, my legs feel much worse on rest days.
Long run is tomorrow, but I enjoyed this mornings run. Everything felt good. I did stretch a bit more responsibly prior to the run than usual. Obviously that is a practice I need to turn into a habit.
Short term goal: have a HM coming up in 28 days.
Long term: first marathon in October.
Overall goal: rigorous training without injury
Question: What is the best way to get involved with the local Hash House Harriers group here in the US midwest? They have a website where they post their trail events. Do I just show up with money and an ID? I am an older GenXer... do they embrace us older folks?
What should I expect?
I've got something to look forward to this coming January!
This will be my first Walt Disney World Marathon - has anyone done this before? Would welcome to hear about your experiences and receive any advice.
Short term goal: HM in one month.
Long term goal: first marathon in October.
Was able to get the long run in Sunday morning before the weather rolled in. Temp was 60°F/15°C for run.. this morning was 10°F/-12°C!
Lessons learned: using a Saloman hydration vest. The pockets for the soft flask water bottles are the black neoprene pockets, not the outer pocket.
Forgot to eat my peanut butter/honey slice of bread one hour prior to run.
Need to make a pre-run checklist ... and follow it!
