Training Time

It's "Get off your ass and do something, Jen" time again! Almost 2 weeks of training under my belt, and I'm feeling pretty good. Why did I abandon running? I find myself enjoying it more this time - I've been running in the mornings though, which I think is a much better solution for me. I don't spend all day worrying about the run, and it's so much cooler, it just makes for happier runs.

Two years ago, I think I came in just under 2:15 for the race. Not bad, but I'd like to shave some time off that. I think I've started out my training this year at 30-45 seconds better pace than I started training last time, so I'm hoping I can keep shaving time off the runs and maybe just MAYBE finish sub-2 hours. I'd have to average around 8:45 - 9 minute miles to do so, but I'm hoping I can get there.

The good thing about running again is that I've been in the mood to read  the harry potter books again, and the audiobooks make great running companions!

See ya in October, 13.1 miles.
