With this in mind, I practiced half-marathon pacing and my run/walk interval on the treadmill this morning. I finished 4.5 miles in 51minutes. This is on track (barely) to my A goal *if* I could achieve it on the road and maintain it over the full 13.1 miles. I have no idea if that's possible.
In other news, Husband & I celebrated our 19th anniversary yesterday. We had a low key celebration because both kids were performing in band concerts yesterday, but I want to share something that he gave me.
He made this shirt for me. You should recognize the silouette from my blog. And it's on a technical t-shirt for me to run in. The really cool thing is that he hand cut the stencil and silk screened this himself.I would have modeled it for you, but I wore it to the gym this morning and it stinks too much to put back on. LOL.
In other news, we're leaving soon for Hawaii, so if I disappear from blogland for a while, you'll know why.
Oh, that shirt is precious love!!! Happy anniversary... and trip.
ReplyDeleteGoals 3 & 4 will keep you fit to run another race. Good job.
What an awesome gift! Happy anniversary again!!

ReplyDeleteVery clever shirt! What a wonderful husband. Your race goals are just about what I hope for on May 3. Just keep practicing. The run/walk thing works. I have been doing continuous running for at least 8 miles for a few months now, but I am going to have to resort to the run/walk once I go to 10. I really want the 2:30 time too! And have a GREAT vacation! I miss the sun already!
ReplyDeleteyou should shoot for 2:30..yes, yes, yes..
ReplyDeleteprops to you guys on 19 years.. and bless your hubby for him doing the shirt..stencil...very nice
Happy Anniversary!! Good luck in a month!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! He must be a keeper - but I think you already knew that!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 19 years.
Happy anniversary!! That's one of the most creative gifts I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Lisa - what a great, thoughtful and extremely useful gift! You have a great guy in that husband of yours!
