Half year recap

Half-year recap

Well, I met some goals and missed some others.  I can’t really complain, as I’ve been reasonably healthy and able to train fairly well.  I only dropped down below 90 miles four times (all for races).  My lowest week was 80, and my highest week 118.  I averaged 96.6 miles per week.  I’m on pace for a little over 5,000 miles.  Just got to stay healthy!

Goals and results:

15km PR – Got it at Lynn Stew chase 54:13, 2:21 under my old masters PR.

10 mile PR - Missed it at the USATF 10m running 57:51, which was 36 seconds over my PR.

½ marathon PR – Got it at New Bedford with a 1:15:11, 1:37 under my old masters PR.

5 mile PR – Got it at Red Shoe barn with a 27:20.9, 1 second under my old PR.

10k PR - Missed it at the 10k US champs (James Joyce) 34:29, 2 seconds over my PR

12km PR - Missed it at the Bedford Rotary 12k with a 41:59, 14 seconds over my PR
