Turned a Corner...

Okay, so I switched to the half and I feel pretty good. My knee has really improved. I had my best run in months on Monday night--9 miles with no walk breaks, and no knee pain. Awesome. Just got back from a 3-miler with the planned ratio for the race: 4:30/:30, which is 90% running. Felt great. Did the 3 miles in 26:51, just below 9:00/M with plenty of gas.

I plan to do the following before the race:

THU 3/24 - 5 mi
SAT 3/26 - 11 mi
MON 3/28 - 3 mi
WED 3/30 - 5 mi
THU 3/31 - 3 mi
SAT 4/2 - RACE (13.1 mi)

Should be great.

4/2/2011

Ok, there are three options:
  1. Switch to the half marathon
  2. Run the first half of the full marathon and bag it/walk the rest
  3. See if you can run with Townes at the 11:20 pace; that might still be okay
I'll have to think about this. Just ran 3 and did fine. Gonna try:
3/4/3/8
3/5/3/10
5/3/3/Race
