This morning, I am a runner...

So, today felt really good. I did a planned workout from the half-marathon training plan. More later, but here's what I did:

• 2 miles @ 8:30/M pace
• pace intervals on 1/4 straight (untimed)
• 2 miles @ 7:48/M pace

Goal Setting Redux

Okay, I don't want to get silly about this. I have sort of settled on a sub-52 minute goal. But my run this morning makes me think that a sub-50 is possible.

• 2 miles in 17:00 [gentle pace]
  
• 2 miles in 16:45 [take it up a notch]
  
• 2 miles in 15.30 [push it]
  

The only difference between this and what I did this morning is the middle 2 miles. Oh, and the 0.2 miles at the end. But it could happen.

And Two Days Later...

Here's what I did this morning (it was 22F outside, man!).

• 2 miles in 17:59 @ 8:59/M
• 2 miles in 17:41 @ 8:50/M
• 2 miles in 15:35 @ 7.47/M

Looks like my "go for it" pace is just below 8:00/M no matter what I do. Oh well... could be worse.
