Last April, I ran the Nike Women’s Half in Washington DC with team in training. The training was great and I looked forward to a wonderful run around the monuments in Our nations capital. The fund raising was tough, (don’t let anyone tell you different) and on race day I was glad to be part of the thousands of purple shirts that made a difference.
Until mile 11. I stepped in and out of a manhole and felt a tear on the outside of my left knee. I should have stopped, but I continued running. That injury took me out of half marathons for a full year. I am now training to run that same race and finish 100 %
Here is how this week went:
Week one- 15 miles
Average pace 10.25 per mile
Race day goal 10.00 per mile
Two days of cross training (60 minutes)
P90x and piloxing class
If you see it you can be it!
