Luke's Half Marathon Relay

39 3672 FBF Girlz 2:42:33.6 2:42:33.6 12:25/M
What a beautiful day for a run! Thank god I only had to run half of the half marathon...I could have run more but finished strong like I wanted. You can see Tessy and I averaged 12:25...Tessy averaging 10:10 on her half so what does that tell you about my half...
I MADE MY GOAL!! If I run the half marathon in January like yesterday I will finish it under 3 hours...my goal for the year. My plan is to run the Houston half in January, the Austin half in February, the Seabrook Lucky Trail half in March...all leading up to the New Orleans 70.3 on April 5th! I have to get my run times down...that is why no full marathons in the near future! I am working on speed these days!
I actually ran up all the "hills" on Allen Pkwy! In the past I would deviate from my run/walk schedule when it came to the hills...but not yesterday! If it was time to run, I RAN UP THE HILL!!! I switched to 5/1's yesterday from 3/1's about 2 minutes before I started my half of the relay and that turned out to work really well for me. I was able to get in an actual groove before it was time for another walk break.
And thanks to Tessy for the awesome fajita post race lunch....it made it a great day!
