The First Watch Sarasota Half-Marathon is 3 weeks from today and I am ready! I was side-lined from running for about a week following my sinus surgery but hit the treadmill this weekend at the gym. Yesterday, I knocked out 5.5 miles at an easy run pace and today I worked on intervals for 1 ½ hours and covered 6.7 miles. Boy, was I exhausted this afternoon – took a nice recovery nap and feel great right now!
I need to get in at least one round of hill repeats this week – that is one component of my training that I haven't attempted yet so I'll feel more prepared mentally for the run across the bridge in Sarasota that is the most challenging part of the course.
Staying focused on good nutrition, hydration, and rest leading up to the run on March 13 – it's coming up quickly.
Happy Trails Folks!
John
