I am debating which half to do - both are local, and have sentimental value in terms of location and scenic courses. Providence is closer to the April 22 10 miler, but the course is flatter. Big Lake gives me more time after the April 22 10 miler, but is known to be very hilly. I think I am leaning towards Providence. But would love input!!
Following along! Excited to see how 2018 comes together for you. Also, those views!
Congrats on starting a training journal and excited to follow along your journey!
I'd say it depends on how you want to approach the April 22nd 10 miler. If it's an "A" type event, then I'd probably shoot for the May 19th HM. But if you use the April 22nd 10 miler as a training run, then you might get a better performance out of the May 6th HM. In addition to the elevation changes, I'd look at the historical weather on those dates in those areas for the last 5 years. Even a week or two can make a dramatic difference in expected weather conditions. I use weather underground for historical temperature and dew points for different time of day.
Yay!! Excited to follow along!!
So glad you started a training journal. You've got some great paces going and equally great goals for the future. Happy to follow along with your training.
I love those views on your running route. Gorgeous!
Wow! Thats a gorgeous route!
Hello to a fellow Massachusetts-ian! Excited to follow along with your plans!
Sometimes the best thing we can do is listen to our bodies and accept that this is enough. Sounds like you had the right attitude about it!but happy I even managed 4
Saturday: Yard work -- that counts as cross-training, right?
