I'm here. And I'm still running. And loving it. And love reading about all of your races and training runs.
Today I ran the Riverton Half-Marathon posting my fastest time yet, 1:48:29 (which included a bathroom break at mile three, UGH!). I was aiming for 1:45 but I am absolutely thrilled with 1:48. I didn't want to go too fast, lest the olympics come calling. I just don't have time for that right now. :) I'll let them chase after Lindy.
I am always saying to myself that if I want to run faster, I have to train faster. And that's what I've been doing. Training faster. Posting some of my fastest training runs ever {which are not earth-shattering by any means} and working on a lot of speed work. And it paid off today. Who says age has to slow you down?
BY THE WAY, did everyone see who commented on Lindy's March 7th post? WOWSERS!

Awesome PR! And with a bathroom break! I'm so glad to see some new posts and hear about your race. Good job! Let's hope St. George pulls our card again. :)
ReplyDeleteWell done, Marcie! I'm glad it was a much better experience than last year's spring 1/2 marathon. Well done.
ReplyDeleteMarc,
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! Your fast training work is paying off! I love seeing results of good training. I am very proud of you! Very happy for you! Wish I could do some of that fast training with you! Move to Gilbert!!!
AMAZING job!!! So good to hear you're doing so well!!! Keep it up! That's an awesome time!
ReplyDeleteWow! Nice Job! a 1/2 PR - great average! I agree about the training faster - The Islands girls have been pushing me to new speeds and I can attest that it does work, I can't yet sprint with Lindy & Karen, but I shaved a min per mile off my 5K and didn't die doing it! Now on to St. George PR's for all!
