Hi. I'm new here. Running a half on 5/2 and not going to be nearly prepared enough, but I am planning on run/walking it throughout. Ran 2.67 miles yesterday (was supposed to be a 5k, but there was a mix-up on the course and some of us were sent the wrong way - not a big deal, it was a small 5k for a school fundraiser and the first year). Ran a 9:59 avg. pace, which was better than I hoped to do.0

Welcome gabella0603!
Was supposed to run long, but very cold and windy! Steady 30ish with gusts at 45 mph!!! So, did 3 miles in 28:20 on the treadmill and I owe myself 8 miles later in the week! Maybe tomorrow or Tuesday, depends when this wind dies down!0 -
Welcome Gabella. Gratz on deciding on the 1/2. My 1st 1/2 is on May10. Been training for like 5 months now LOL. My goal originally was to finish, then that lead to a goal to 3hours, then a goal to beat my brothers time of 2.5 hours. Either way I'm finishing the race and framing my chip and bib 8)0

8.19 miles in 1:19:41 I had a bad day and was worried I was too miserable to push myself plus it was cold and windy. I wanted so badly to scrap the idea. My mom convinced me the run would likely make me feel better, and my running buddy insisted we go having pushed it back from yesterday. We decided to try to stick to a 10 min mile, and ended up a bit faster with average pace 9:44. I feel good about the idea of a half, however 5 more weeks of growing belly might change that. Today, though I felt like there was no problem! !0

What a great attitude! I bet you'll beat that goal!
I was supposed to run today, but got call from school my son was sick, and with after school meeting commitments, I'm way too tired to start now. So, tomorrow it is. 10 miles on the docket for the weekend. No excuses will be allowed then.
BTW, I need to admit I've done a 1/2 before. But it was four years ago and a few pounds ago (but they are almost all off again). I've hardly run since then, so it's kinda like my first all over again. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll match my time (2:36), but the 1/2 I have signed up for in November will be the one I train for time. The one in May is for fun w/ my cousins.
Poke987 - I am so impressed you are running while pregnant! With my first, I could only run until 5 months and after then it was too painful. You are amazing!0 -
Well I just ran 5k at 1130 at night and got a PR of 27:01 LOL0

Yesterday's run was supposed to be 1 mile warm-up, 2x 1 mile fast with 2 minute break between, 1 mile cool down. The wind was terrible and I felt slow the whole time, even though my "fast" miles were a respectable 8:31 and 8:51. Temp was close to what it will be for my half in two weeks and I was sweating buckets!0

I ran today on the treadmill for 40 minutes. Still can't understand why I run faster outside (still slow, though). That said, my breathing felt easier today. Will run again Friday and then 9.5 miles Sunday (not 10). Hoping for nice-enough weather to go outside for Sunday's run. It's supposed to rain -- which is better than snow & ice...Yesterday's run was supposed to be 1 mile warm-up, 2x 1 mile fast with 2 minute break between, 1 mile cool down.

Your fast miles are great! The day of the race will be so exhilarating, you'll probably feel like you are flying the entire way.0 -
5k today not 10k 8(0

4.09 miles in 38:59 My first spring rain run. I was going to skip it, but running buddy showed up at my house... the rain let up as we went out, so I'm glad she pushed me! My plan calls for rest day tomorrow then 5k Saturday. Couldn't find a local race, so we decided to add in a long run. Weather looks better sunday so the plan is 9 miles that day.0

Wednesday I ran 6 miles on the track in the gym (stupid thunderstorms) in just under an hour. Yesterday 4 miles outside in 41:04. There's a local half marathon this weekend, which I'm not running, but I'm providing bicycle support for the race with my girls' bike group. When that's done, I'll get in my last long run before my half. Two weeks. It's starting to get real!0

Sick kid @ home, so treadmill today. Ran for 40 minutes. 4 min run/1 walk. Very slowly, but surely my lung capacity is improving.0
-
Managed to get out 3 times this week. Not been at my strongest, but glad I made the effort0
-
Got out early enough today to get my 9.5 miles in before the hail hit. Still slow like a turtle, but only two 1-minute walking breaks.0
-
9.02 miles in 1:28:46 with the whole family as bicycle escorts. Was so nice to have them, made the miles go by so much easier. I made them promise to accompany me for the next few weekends! Felt great to start, but as the 9th mile came closer I wasn't sure i could do 4 more... we shall see I suppose. Was still running right around a 10 min mile at the end, so i suppose I have room to slow down if that's what it takes to get the half done.
Great week everyone! Keep it up!!0 -
@poke987 I thought about you on Saturday as I was watching the local 1/2 marathoners run by. At least 4 pregnant women running (a couple looked like they could have their baby at any minute!)
Saturday afternoon, I ran my last long run before my half. 12 miles in 2:04:33. Felt good throughout, even managing the last 2 miles in under 10 minutes each!0 -

@Ceci_O_K sounds like you are in a great spot heading into your race! Way to go!!
I bought a "running for 2" tshirt to wear, if I make it to race day! I hope I have a cute bump and don't just look all chubby like I do now... and that i dont huff and puff my way around the course! I'd love to look cute and fit and obviously pregnant! Sounds a little vain to type it out like that... but... we saw a woman at a 5k race I did last year, and she looked great, I was so impressed! I want to be her! I suppose I'd better focus on my miles, and just be happy if I make it... but after 2 overweight pregnancies I'd love to be that cute lady at the race!0 -
I was looking back at my runs when I first started c25k just under 2 years ago. My pace was closer to 13 minute miles. When I finished c25k, pace was around 11:30. Now, I feel like I could run all day at about a 10:20 or 10:30 pace. More running definitely equates to a faster pace!
I took my bike out yesterday for a planned 20 mile ride. The weather was beautiful! About 12 miles in, I stopped at an intersection and failed to unclip my left foot. Of course, that's the way the bike started to lean, so I hit hard on my left arm. I don't think I broke anything, but it's really sore. It shouldn't interfere with my running, but I think I'll be off the bike for a while.

Well I haven't ran or done any form of exercise for the last 6 days this flu is killing me. Dropped 10 pounds unintentionally. This is one nasty bug.0

I was thinking aboutyou today! Looked back to see you hadn't posted in a while... hope you feel better soon!
@Ceci_O_K hope it heals fast for you! What a drag!!0 -
I'm sorry to read about illness and injuries. That's never fun. Hope you are both healed soon.
I ran 4 miles this morning, but had to break down and go get a new rescue inhaler this afternoon. Haven't dealt with asthma in nearly 10 years and after three runs of it hinting at its return (I'd just take a walking break or go slower), I broke down and got one. Thank goodness for walk-in clinics.
Poke - I love the T-shirt idea. I'm sure you'll be the adorable mom at the race. Certainly, you should be congratulated/celebrated for running pregnant! It's not easy!0 -
3.01 miles in 27:21. I actually started out faster, but running buddy needed to slow down. She did her 9 miles yesterday was a little sore today and wanted a slower pace... Bummer since I felt so good, but she runs to my pace all the time, it was the least I could do!0
-
No arm pain during my 4 mile run yesterday! I have some very colorful bruising, but not much pain.
My run incorporated some fast intervals (15 - 60 seconds) with 3 minutes easy in between. I finished the 4 miles in just over 41 minutes. It was a beautiful day!0
