So I've finished my first week of my half marathon training and I'm feeling pretty good. I worked out 5 times this week without even trying. We had 3 workouts with the program (short run, bootcamp, and long run) and then two cross-training sessions (elliptical and cycling). Today's long run (~4 miles) was pretty tough. We ran through Golden Gate Park on one of the trails along JFK Dr. Running along the trail was tougher than I expected and my first two miles were pretty tough. I walked much more than I would have liked. My third mile was much better and my pace matched that from our 2 mile run earlier in the week. I'm shooting to keep my mile paces sub 13 minutes and work my way down to 10 minute miles eventually. I wore my usual running uniform of Wunder Groove Crops and Define Jacket. I was glad I brought my jacket as it was freezing at Ocean Beach but had to take it off once I got in the park. Definitely a variety of climates on the run. I was able to finish strong even though I started out pretty slow. Looking to work on more steady pacing on future runs.
Also, I am posting all my runs to DailyMile so feel free to friend me on DailyMile to get course maps and more detailed mile splits! Happy Running!
