Anticipating the Manhattan Half Marathon this Sunday. Will be my first real challenge since the NY Marathon. I havent really trained specifically for this race so I am a bit apprehensive about it. Its Winter. I have never trained for a long run in the winter. I've been doing my weekly running; however the longest run so far this winter has only been 10 miles. So I wont push myself to do a PR this Sunday. Treat it as a Sunday Long Run. Easy pace; stay loose; have fun. Make sure I am well hydrated and properly nourished. Be smart.
I ran this morning. 6:30 AM. About 4.2 miles. Nice and easy. I love those early AM runs. Nice weather. In the mid to upper 30s. A nice 40 minute run. I will continue a couple more easy runs this week leading up to the 1/2 marathon. I will do the 9 races for New York Road Runner again this year; to qualify again in 2011 for the NY Marathon. I am already qualified for 2010 because I did the 9 races last year. I am psyched up to do the NY Marathon again this year.
I ran today in my new NB 1064 running shoes. Very very nice. Smooth; and well cushioned.
