Half-marathon training continues to go very well. 30 miles two weeks ago, 29 last week. No doubles lately, as the long runs are getting the job done in making sure my weekly mileage stays where I like.
I ran my second 12-miler this past Monday, pacing out at 7:59 per mile. I was pleased with the effort, but the course was not as challenging as last week. Next week will be my last tune up, and I'll make sure it includes a little more hill work.
This means I can now aim at 1:45 for a finishing time. It would be nearly 1:30 per mile faster than my Abilene half in 2006. Truly something to be excited about.
I also did mile repeats Thursday just to shake things up, holding 7:41 pace per mile on a treadmill.
