TOPIC: Re: Training for the Disney Half Marathon

Last speed workout before the Disney pikermi!  Started with 3 laps warmup (each lap is about 1/3 of a mile), then some strides, then we did 9 intervals of 1 lap hard (about a 10K pace) followed by a half lap recovery.  Then we did a lap and a half cooldown.  Good workout - a little more than 6 miles, I think.  One more long run Sunday (10 miles), then the taper until the race!<br /><br />Also, only $110 to go to my minimum!<br />

$85!

Easy run today - 4 miles in 34:36, plus about 1/3 mile running around a park using the exercise equipment (crunches, push-ups, etc.).<br /><br />Guess what - $35 to go!<br />

10 miles yesterday - very hilly run!  Won't need that work in Anaheim - the Disney half is really flat!<br /><br />BTW - congrats to Mike Steele for breaking 5K posts!  YAY!

Easy 4-mile run tonight as part of tapering for the Disney Half on Sunday.  My lift-up muscle in my foot is a bit sore, but didn't seem to impact my running at all.<br />

<br /><br />Just imagine that you are being chased by a giant rat!

Yikes!<br /><br />Foot feeling better today.  Tmr will do only 3 or 4, and then maybe not run again until the race on Sunday!

Race done. Result = wicked awesome!  My time was 1:46:57! Hoody hoo!<br />

Way to go!

Did an easy 4 or so miles yesterday.  The muscle that flexes my left foot up (as if I were pointing my toes upwards) has been pretty sore, but it's feeling better.  Gotta run 18 miles this Sunday, since the team is still training for the Nike Women's Marathon in San Diego in October.  Haven't run that far since the LA Marathon!
