4 Weeks Away!

Race Day is now less than 4 weeks away!

Yesterday I ran 9 miles with my roommates, it was one of my favorite runs that I have done.  The weather was perfect and I actually had people to chat with, so running wasn't boring!  I am getting new shoes this week though, because my ankle and knees hurt while running yesterday, and still are hurting pretty badly.  I am excited to see what a difference a new pair makes!

The 9 mile run was a 12:31 min pace.  My goal for the race is to run it in under 2 hours 37 minutes (which would be 12 minute miles).  I think that I can do it.  Having everyone cheering for me on the sidelines will be huge motivation to run quicker.  I just don't want to have my heart rate too high the entire race, that is my only concern.

I feel like I could do the race already, adding on miles hasn't been as horrible as I had imagined.  Looking forward to completing it!
