  1. RUN
    good 1 mi 00:09:59 09:58 pace

    Ran after weights, trying to build up mental endurance, since that's what got me in the half.

  2. RUN
    alright 1 mi 00:09:59 09:58 pace

    Thought I'd try a "recovery run". This was it :)

  3. RUN
    good Fargo half marathon 13.1 mi 02:08 09:48 pace

    Oh boy was this an experience! Got there late due to horrible traffic, started out with rain (which was great) and then humid, hot and sunny (which was rough). Had a horrible side ache from miles 3... read more

  4. RUN
    tired 6.86 mi 01:08 09:54 pace

    This run took place on Saturday...against 30 mph winds.
    Sucked horribly.
    I hated most of it.

    But then I realized I. kicked. ass.

    Even if it was a little slower than usual.

    1 mi 00:09:18 09:18 pace

    Practicing pace for half.

  6. Tips on how to monitor pace for a half marathon? Do I try to keep steady pace or start off slow and pick it up at the end?

      I'm guessing you mean how do you pace yourself? I'd say a good goal would be to run the first few miles about 15 to 30 seconds slower than your goal pace, and then by mile 5 or 6, pick it up to your goal pace and then try to maintain. You'll be better off that way than starting out too fast. Go in confident, and you'll be fine. I'll be out there cheering all ya Dailymiler's on :)

    WOOT! Kicked butt. Sick of my Nike+ app, which screwed up again (first I was running 9:02 miles, then 11:30, then 8:50 and then it stalled....UGH!) so I just ran until 1:45, which I knew was about ... read more

  8. RUN
    alright 1.12 mi 00:10:10 09:04 pace

    Well, I was planning on running long distance, but the issue was...well, I ran in the country and my stomach was starting to not feel so good so I had to meander my way home. Bummer.

  9. RUN
    great 3.1 mi 00:28 08:52 pace

    Speed workout on TM, and switched it up, starting at 6 (instead of 5...soo slow!) and on one, went up to 8.5 for a minute.

    Getting sick of my apps messing up. Anybody have a recommendation? iSmoot... read more

      Massage is about the only thing that fixes this for me -- that and using a roller if you have one...

      I almost wonder if something is out of alignment that would be jamming your hip.
