OMG another hill.

Practice 10 mile run with MJ in preparation for my half marathon on Sunday. Never ran across Golden Gate Bridge before and it was quite nice and breezy.

I think I’m discovering that 10-10:30 is more of my pace right now as I’ve been a little burned out half way, through. I don’t want to go up to 14:00 by the time I get to the 13 mile mark so I’ll experiment with taking it easier in the beginning.

Also, got my new Garmin GPS. Pretty lightweight and handy. Sure beats carrying around a phone in my hand and having Run Keeper crash. Seeing my heart rate is kinda neat, too!

Lately MJ and I have been trying to run on routes that have less stops to mimic more of a marathon situation in preperation for my half Marathon next Sunday. We decided to do this run along the Embarcadero (which is unfortunately flatter than I would like but will do for now.) 

We did the route 2 weeks ago:

At a pace of 10:29 and a week later:

At a pace of 9:30 shaving six whole minutes off our run!

Also, I finally switched to a Garmin watch (305) so goodbye Run Keeper!

Warrior Dash results are in! My time was 29:51 and my average pace was 8:32/M (in the top 17% percentile). Not bad considering having to run up and down steep hills, over hurdles, cars, and fire, through tunnels, and crawling through the mud. F yeah!
