Well this weekend was the final long distance run prior to the half marathon on May 3rd (13 days away).
Saturday was beautiful and I went out at around 10:15 am in early 60s weather.
12 miles later, 1.6 miles to Prospect Park, and then 3 laps of the park and a like 2/10s of a mile out of the park and I was done. 1 hr 36 minutes and 7 seconds, basically perfect 8 min miles for 12 miles.
Felt great, probably not having had a drink in 20 days (at that point), 22 now helps and not over training is even better.
So if I'm good, then I may just be able to do the full Half Marathon (13.1 miles) in exactly 1 hour and 45 minutes which is a personal goal of mine, just didn't think I'd achieve it on this race.
We'll see...
