I’m so behind in everyone’s journals again and have done a crap job updating mine.
Completely forgot to mention that early registration for Princess weekend happened on August 2nd. I was going back and forth with running the half or the challenge. I decided to run just the half and try to get a volunteer spot. I’m handing out 5K medals for Wine & Dine weekend so I’m thinking I might try and secure a spot at the expo for bib pick up or handing out the shirts.
Under the Oaks half marathon is in 56 days. I’m nervous. Why? I’ve done so much treadmill running. Treadmill running is not the same as running outside. I’m hoping that now that school has started that I can get myself back into a routine. Nick takes the bus to school now and it picks him up at 6:30am. Yesterday morning I ran at that time and it wasn’t too bad. It was so humid though and I was disgustingly wet by the end.
@DopeyBadger has put together a great a chart for corral breakdowns when it comes to proof of time. Right now my half PR of 2:13:38 (10:12 pace) lands me in D for Dopey. I’m so close to getting into C with a half cutoff time of 2:07. That’s a 9:41 pace for 13.1 miles which is 31 seconds faster per mile that I’d need to run. OMG. Can I do it? I don’t know. I feel like my whole training plan was wasted with time on the treadmill.
