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!
Very happy about my performance in #running a local St. Patrick's Day 10k (new PR of 56:37.1, prior PR 6 months ago was 57:02.25). Interesting to compare pacing from 6 months ago to today.
Big difference today was my slower heart rate. My max gonna-die-immediately HR is between 165-170. I run into immediate problems if I hit that HR range. Today my HR only went slightly higher than 160 for the final 0.5km.
Going to interpret today as a validation of my training.
Always great to see progress.
I'm open for work again! I'm looking for interesting opportunities; want to work with me?
