So a little late with my initial entry for this year's training.....I'll do a quick recap so that everyone is up to speed. This year I am living, working, and training on the Cape. I have myself a trusty training partner, Madison , the golden doodle. She does not let me slack off. Luckily (or unluckily) for me, she does not have a snooze button so when she hears my alarm go off she gets right in my face.
In January, I ran 12 training runs (3 a week)for a total distance of 106 miles. The runs spanned from 4 miles on January 4th to 16 miles on January 24th and my average pace was 9:39 per mile. The 16 miles was the Derry New Hampshire 16 miler, a race which had ridiculously steep hills around every corner. That went surprisingly well for me and inspired my to keep up the early morning runs. Most of my runs are on the bike path, as Madison is a much better runner when there are not cars driving by all the time.
In February so far I have run just shy of 98 miles so far with 8 runs. I usually do 3 runs a week but I missed on run for a storm. I am back on track now though. My longest run to date is 18 miles, which I did yesterday. A nice jog from my house in Harwich to my parents house in Eastham. It was a fabulous day for a run and I finished in 2 hours and 54 minutes.
This week I have two runs to do during the week and then a half marathon race on Sunday!!!
