On Wednesday, I ran with the Y run club for 6 miles of conversational pace. Added to that was 2 miles of warm-up run from home to park, and 2 miles of ran with Mike after the run.
On thursday, I ran on East Side track for the first time doing 1K repeats. It is a very nice track to run on.
Friday was an easy day. I didn't want to run long or hard and wanted to taper for NYC half marathon.
Today I didn't run at all. Tried to stay hydrated and had a good pasta dinner. The temperature is going to be in the high-70s early morning, but the problem is the humidity. I am hoping to replicate my time from Shamrock Half Marathon. That would be a sub 1:23 (pace of 6:20), the qualifying time for New York Marathon. The difference between Shamrock course and NYC half is the big hills of Central Park, and the brutal weather.
Mike has told me there is a group of runners from Nike who are shooting for the same time. If I feel good in the morning, I am going to give 1:23 a decent shot and see what happens.
There is something especial about NYC Half Marathon for me. I have run in every year of this race since its inception in 2007. That year, I ran a 1:45, and next year in 2008 I ran a 1:40. That was the year that Denie out ran me in Times Square.
Let's hope for a good race for all of the Y RRC team.
