Three Things Thursday – Race Edition

1. Race

This Sunday I will run a half marathon in NH. I’m excited for this trip, I have never been to NH and I can check another state off of my list! I will be running the

2. Race Weather

It seems to be perfect! The forecast for Sunday is: partly cloudy and a high of 74. My perfect running weather is in the 60′s so I’m really exited! Let’s hope for no wind or rain.

3. Race Goals

Last time I ran a half marathon was last October. Wow, I didn’t realize it’s been that long! This race was in snow and a little hilly, but I finished with my current PR of 1:56:40. I still can’t believe how fast I was! My number 1 goal is to come as close to this time as possible.

  • A (aka too good to be true) Goal: PR (anything faster than 1:56:40)
  • B (aka freaking good) Goal: Sub 9 min/mile pace (sub 1:58)
  • C (aka happy) Goal: Sub 2 hour and have an amazing time and finish strong!

I’m feeling good an recovered well from the 20 miler last weekend. Marathon training usually makes me fast so I’m anxious to see what happens!

What are your plans for Labor Day Weekend?
