Tara\’s half marathon training blog

Today I ran 6 miles with a 2 mile race pace pick-up in the middle of it.  It took me about 50 min.

Easy 1 mile warm-up.  During the 2 mile race pace my effort was hard.  I stuggled to keep pace for the whole 2 miles.  Rest of my run was moderate to easy.

This was a scheduled work out, and I completed it.  I felt great when I was done!

My route was state rd. #2 in Two Harbors.  It’s mixed with flat, up hill and down hill.

What a great day for a run.  41 degrees!  Perfect!!

Today we got our training schedules.  I have choosen to try the intermediate half marathon guide. 

I did 50 min of plyometrics. 

It was difficult.  It works cardio and strenth at the same time and I was tired, and kinda sore when I got done.

I love this workout.  It’s a killer

Today I ran 4miles

My effort was moderate

My route was hilly both up and down

It was snowing huge, fluffy flakes.  They stuck to my face.  It was a beatiful run, quiet and peaceful with no wind.
