Run Laughlin Half Marathon Training Week 10

If you follow me on IG, then you already know how this ends. :-)

I had the best half marathon yesterday - and not just because I got that PR was I hoping for. It was a gorgeous course, and I was just having a great time for all of the miles. I'll have a full recap on Tuesday, but first, here's how the final week of training went down.

Training Recap Week 10: 11/27 - 12/03

Monday, 11/27
Plan - REST
Actual - 1 easy mile with Sallie

Tuesday, 11/28
Plan - Recovery Run | 4.50 miles | Easy pace
Actual - 3.79 miles | 37:59 | 10'01" pace + 1.09 miles | 11:53 | 10'55" pace
I actually packed my running stuff, so I could meet up with a running group after work. I didn't test my headlamp until after we started running. It wouldn't turn on, so I just carried a dead headlamp the entire time! Thank goodness there were enough other people with lights and some street lights, too. The group run was lots of fun!

When I was nearly home, I realized I hadn't turned on Charity Miles for my run so I went out for another mile when I got home.

Wednesday, 11/29
Plan - REST
Actual - 1 easy mile with Sallie

Took it nice and easy for the final week of training, and then @EnjoytheCourse KILLED it on race day.

Thursday, 11/30
Plan - Recovery Run | 2.25 miles | Easy pace
Actual - 2.9 miles | 32:53 | 11'20" pace
Took it slow and easy. I was a tiny bit hard on myself for such a slow pace, but tried to make it ok by saying I needed to save my speed for race day. My pace was also a bit slower because I took about a thousand pics of my shadow while running. LOL I was having a hard time getting one I loved and finally gave up and settled on this one. :D

Friday, 12/01
Plan - REST
Actual - 1 easy mile with Sallie

Saturday, 12/02
Plan - RACE DAY!!
Actual - 13.1 miles | 2:04:35 | 9'31" pace
Race day turned out better than I could have imagined, and I can't wait share the whole story with you. Be sure to come back on Tuesday to read all about it! The weather was perfect. The scenery was gorgeous. I felt strong and couldn't help but smile the entire race - especially the last few miles. It really came together so perfectly. I definitely succeeded in both goals - Have Fun & PR - during the race and really couldn't be happier with race day.

Sunday, 12/03
Plan - REST
Actual - 1 easy mile with Sallie & Jeff
Out of the blue this morning, Jeff said he wanted to run with me and Sallie. Who was I to say no? :-) One mile done with my two loves.

Where's my treat, momma?

Blueberry chia overnight oats

Lunch:
PBJs
Tuna sandwiches

Some kind of ground beef / instant potato creation
Some kind of chicken and rice casserole
