All sorts of cheeziness on my ipod :)

Did 15k on Friday morning! It took FOREVER, but for my 1st attempt at a 15km distance it wasn't that bad.... AND it now means that I'm once again back on schedule for 1/2 marathon training!

Thank god for the ipod -- that's ALL I have to say about that.

I spent some time tonight customizing my playlists --- I now have Fast, Medium and Slow Running Music playlists --- I'm hoping they help to steady my pace a little and provide a bit more structure to my runs.

I also did my first Farklet run the other day -- I was short of time so I did 20 minutes alternating sprints and speedwalking ------ it went well, and was a nice break from the monotony of my half-marathon pace....

Tomorrow morning I'm going to attempt the 15km distance again --- I've got 2 more weeks of doing 15's and then I'm going to push up to 18 and 20 km routes. I'm also going to start running chunks of the marathon route as part of my training.

My goal tomorrow is to finish my 15k within 2 hours -- it's a 8 min/km pace -- which really isn't that fast at all (my goal race-pace is around 6.5 min/km) -- but it really depends on how I'm feeling.

I'm also considering breaking down and carrying water on my run tomorrow --- mostly because if I have my belt I'll also have somewhere to carry some gummies for that horrible 12km mark where I'm inevitably going to start to get hungry!

  • Good to hear that you've got an ipod! I couldn't survive running more than 6 miles without it =) We should exchange music when I go down to your place!! I'm thinking about taking the train... not sure what my legs are going to be like the day after... driving might not be the best idea then!

    Keep up the great runnin =)
