@briebee7 - congratulations on your trail half! That is an awesome time!! I agree that it is just mean to put a hill in at the end of a half!
Wow! That's a great time and it's amazing that you felt great the whole way, except for the hill. Who puts a hill at mile 12!I ran my half marathon this weekend and am thrilled with the results! 1:48:42. Not a PR but faster than I have done one in the last 6 years. Plus it was a trail run!
I hope everyone on the East Coast is staying warm and safe tonight and the next few days!!

I'm just checking in since I took a break over the weekend with every intention of starting again today. But silly me, I didn't manage to check the news so "Surprise - there's a blizzard coming"!! Just back from the mobbed grocery store and been prepping the house for the imminent power outage. Those of you in warm parts of the world - happy running! Those of you in the northeast, stay safe!
Congrats to everyone who has met their goal already!! So impressive. And congrats to those of you have recently run races!! Very inspiring. Think you have convinced me to go power up (while I still can) the treadmill and get a run in tonight!
ETA: 2.09 miles done on the treadmill...it's not a lot but it's something!

1/1/2015: 3.94 miles outside
1/2/2015: 3.46 miles treadmill
1/3/2015: 1.95 miles outside, because I was too lazy to drive to the gym (?!)
1/4/2015: 4.34 miles treadmill, driving to the gym was terrifying (ask me about my POS car.)
1/5/2015: Rest (replaced car and dealt with insurance)
1/6/2015: Rest (still dealing with insurance - switching to new agency)
1/7/2015: 3.52 miles treadmill (and running around with old insurance agency, some more!)
1/9/2015: 4.21 miles treadmill
1/12/2015: 3.5 miles treadmill
1/14/2015: 6.99 miles treadmill (I did 2 Zombies, Run! missions, one with hills and one flat, and added the mileage when I got home, or that would be an even 7.)
1/16/2015: 3 treadmill and 3 treadmill - competing against my brother. I failed in the morning and went back to try again in the afternoon. Beat his time by 27 seconds.
1/19/2015: 1 mile on the treadmill in my brother's gym about 10 seconds slower than his. My lungs finally feel a bit better. That was the dustiest nasty treadmill I hope to ever use. There are ruts worn into the platform that made my run feel like I was running in an icy wheel rut. But the rock salt and dust was worse than the bumpy ride. Ugh.
1/20/2015: 3 miles treadmill
1/26/2015: 6.04 miles treadmill 27 miles left, in 5 days. That seems a tiny bit ambitious, for me.
1/27/2015: 6.09 miles treadmill

Thanks all! Last weekend's half was the first time in many years that I was happy with a race and really enjoyed it. I think being a part of these challenges and MFP have really helped me realign my nutrition with my training. And yes, that last hill was brutal!
I ran 5.75 of hills this morning. Brings my January total to 111.35! My goal for the month was 100. Whew! I had no idea I was capable of that many miles. Thanks to you all!0 -
