Eleven point one down and two to go!

I really think I can do the Disney Half Marathon and do it well!! I'm really excited with my progress and my training. I am feeling confident!

I met Shelly and Caroline this morning for the long run. They both planned to do 9, I planned 11. We ran together until the 9 mile point and then they left and I pressed on for two more miles. I enjoyed running with them. It made the time go by faster and it was nice to have company.

Here's how the run breaks down: 11:26, 11:23, 11:42, 11:19, 11:35, 10:52, 10:51, 10:31, 10:28, 11:03, 11:09, and 1:21 for 0.12mi (11:09 pace). Total of 11.12 miles in 2:03:40 at an average 11:07 min per mile. That is PERFECT! My "secret" goal (it's not really secret if you put it on your blog) is to finish the half in under 2:30. I will do that if I can keep that pace! And with "only" two miles to go, I think I can do that. Wow!

Note: I just changed my long run on the sidebar of the blog. It was 10.07 at an average 11:19. Now it is 11.12 at an average of 11:07. That is quite an improvement in two weeks! Maybe the week of rest when I wasn't feeling well helped. If so, it's a good thing I'll be resting before the Half!

And so far, knock on wood, I feel pretty good. Now it's time for a Skype call with Elinor. I can't wait!
