13.1 Half Marathon

This coming Sunday will be my second marathon of 2009. On April 11 I ran the Illinois Marathon down in Champaign-Urbana and this Sunday it will be the newest half marathon in town, 13.1 Half Marathon (the same one that happens in Atlanta, Miami, and Ft. Lauderdale). The novelty on this race it will utilizing wave starts, which I have never experienced before on half marathon. We will see how this thing works. My goal for this race is to finish under 2 hours.

As far as training goes, this past Saturday was my longest mile since the full marathon. Ellen and I logged in 11 miles on Saturday. This week we will cut back a little. My weeks looks like this:

Monday- 5 miles (at 8:44/mile)
Tuesday - Speed workout
Wednesday - off
Thursday- 6 miles
Friday 4 miles
Saturday - rest
Sunday - race

Keep running.
