***GOOD LUCK SUNDAY GERLINDA!!!!***
i'll be thinking of you and sending you good vibes from afar. :)
i did 12 this morning, and feel pretty good about it. i spent a lot of the day friday moving rocks, so my hamstrings were pretty tight, but i just ran through it. my time was 2:03, which means i should be able to do the half in 2:15, though i am setting a 2:20 goal for myself just in case. this was a hilly run ... the same course as usual, but with 1.5 more miles (3 round trip), and those are hilly miles --- lots of ups and downs, steep, neverending, argh. i ran them all, though. i did walk one hill toward the end of mile 7 ... mostly so i could strip down to less clothes. anyway, i feel like i could have managed another 3 miles if i'd had to, so that's good.
the rest of the week went as normal -- 5 on tues, 18 mile road bike on weds, 5 on thurs, rest fri (except for the above-mentioned rock moving and other gardening.) i took a GPS to my routes on friday ... and it turns out i've been running about .3 miles over each distance ... so that means i've been just under 10-minute pace, which is kind of encouraging. now that i know exact distances, though, i'll be running just those ....
