Had a 22 mile run today in which I warmed up 7 miles on the race course at just over 7 min pace then I did the Palos Verdes Half Marathon. My sister was doing the race and asked if I would go with her. I'm glad I did. Palos Verdes is one of the coolest places I've ever been. Anyway, I wanted to run the race as a hard tempo effort just under 6 min pace and that's what I did. I ended up winning the race in 1:17:59. It wasn't a race effort but it was still hard. The course was very hilly and 13+ miles at 6 min pace is still a good effort for me. I cooled down 2 miles right when I finished to make 22 miles for the day. It was a great training stimulus for me with all those hills and I feel like I won't be too beat up from the effort. It was a great 24 hour trip and I am very fortunate that I got to experience such a place. The Terranea Resort where we stayed was unbelievable. The average for the 22 miles was 6:20.
I haven't figured out how to get pictures up on here yet but I added a bunch on our blog Parents on the Run along with the course profile and Garmin information.
Here is my Garmin info from the race |
