Wasn't feeling the run at all that morning. So, I'm surprised I ran an under 2 hour half. Nothing really eventful happened.

Event comments:

They ran out of beer. I was really looking forward to a cold beer. Also, the location of this race leads to crappy logistics. I had to take a train and 2 buses to get there. It's not in the most convenient location. Also, the expo was at Navy Pier, ALSO not a convenient place.

I just ran the Boston Marathon under nine minute miles, can I run eight minute miles for my half Ironman training runs? Or should I go slower?

Steady is our walk. Ignoring the pain that is radiating from my feet, I continue to place one foot in front of the other. Again I wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

This program should be used for an athlete whose goal is to run a marathon in the 1:30-2:30 range and has a good running base in the past 8-12 weeks.

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
