Before my last race
There’s a free Half Marathon coming up here in Las Vegas in November so I’ve prepared a training schedule for myself. After the training success I had with Asylum I decided to heavily incorporate P90X, X2, Insanity, and Asylum into my schedule and only run two days per week as opposed to three or four. I haven’t run a half in a couple years and I’ve only done two in my life but I’m hoping to cut about 10 minutes off of my previous finish time. I’ll be shooting for a 1 Hour 35 Minute time. It’s going to take some work but it gives me something to do.
Along with the 1/2, I have a few other races I’m already registered for along with a bunch I’ve been looking into. I’d like to do at least one race every month but that is a little difficult during the month of August in Las Vegas. (Except for this.) While I was searching I found a link to something called the Goruck Challenge. I’ve heard a little bit about this race from the running group I’m in and it looks to be pretty awesome. From what I’ve read it’s not so much a race as it is a team challenge of 15-20 miles over 8-10 hours including ‘missions’ that the instructor has you complete. I’m very interested in this but I’m not sure if we’ll be here or on vacation somewhere when it happens.
Here’s a picture of me and Paige after my 5K finish in Montana on the 4th of July. I came in at 22:57 which cut 4 minutes off of my previous 5K time from April. I was also 3rd place in my age group (20-29) and seeing how I won’t be in that group for much longer I took a peek at what I would have placed if I was in the 30-39 division. Still 3rd. More work to do!
