US Half Marathon Countdown

My first race of 2011 is coming up - woo hoo! When I originally signed up at the beginning of the year, I thought this would be my goal race. Instead, it's a wonderful, low pressure training run where not only will I be able to get the miles in on parts of the full marathon course but where I'll be able to practice embracing race day jitters :)

Goals for this race is to practice my marathon goal pace of about 9:40 - 9:55 mm. A tinge of self doubt entered the mind as I typed that but I've been comfortably cranking out my long runs at around 10:15 mm. We'll see, either way, I'm really looking forward to it!
