Congrats Indi! Great race! 1:20 on a trail run--you go girl!!

So Sunday was my 12 miler. Haven't hit this distance since Feb of this year (last half marathon). I did all the reading about not just doing a long slow distance, but work on running some at race pace. My last coach had me increase my pace as I ran. However, Sunday was about getting the mileage. I felt OK considering how sluggish I have been this week. Usually 6 - 9 miles are my tough miles and once I get to 9...then I just get back into a good rhythm. Not necessarily the case this time.
Overall it was OK. I had a few moments when I pushed to pick up the pace.
My overall avg pace was 11:16. That is 1 minute slower that my goal MP. That being said, that is where I wanted to be for this run. Next Sunday is just 10 miles AND d/t the holidays I am switching runs around so I'll have "rest" day on Sat. Maybe w/ fresher legs I can push more. So I'll plan to do the latter miles closer to goal MP.

Did the standing in pool post run. Pool temp is in the 70's. NOrmally I would never get in it. But it does feel good and I think it is helping!

Oh did I say it was MUGGY and warm for a Nov. run! Waiting on "cool" front to move in....so stuck w/ humidity! That is Florida for ya!

Happy running week!
kaci...good luck on your 1/2 marathon on Turkey Day. I, myself, am just doing at 5K Turkey Trot (and trotting is what I'll be doing, no real running!)
