1/24/11 (Monday) Run

Ran 5 miles in 34:56. Ran one mile warm-up at 7.2 mph (8:20 min mile) then beginning at the one mile marker ran 1/2 mile intervals at 9.7 mph (6:11 min mile) with a one minute recover jog at 7.2 mph in-between each interval.  I ran a total of six of these 1/2 mile intervals.  That was pretty tough and several times my mind tried to talk me out of completing them, but perseverance paid off.

Though I take daily allergy medication, I think the  allergies are still acting up as I am feeling something in my throat and upper chest today.


Today is the official beginning of my training.  My first half-marathon is 11 weeks from this coming Saturday.  That seems so far away yet it will be here quickly (thank goodness, I want spring!).
