It may not seem like many miles to some of you who will read this, but for me it is a steady improvement. I logged 18 miles this past week. I already have 6 miles in the books for this week. My plan is to get my weekly mileage up to about 25 prior to my October 20th half-marathon. My run this morning, 6 miles, was done in 1:06. On Thursday, I ran the Watermelon 5K, with a 2 mile warm up and 2 miles post race. I was not racing the 5K, but wanted to be close to my goal pace. I finished in 31:30 or a 10:10 min/mile pace. I am making progress and that's what counts. I have 14 weeks until the half-marathon so I believe I am on track for my goal. As my base increases, I will add speed workouts. I need to remember that a 10:00 min/mile pace gets me to my BQ qualifier. I would like to be in the area of 9:30 min/mile (2:04) for the half-marathon. Watermelon 5K photo courtesy of Pamela Starr.
