Running updates
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007I’ve waited close to a month for my US Half results, but it still isn’t there. I emailed them and was informed that they had technical difficulties, that their timing devices broke. I complained and requested for a refund. Yet, I have still not heard back from them. It’s doubtful that I will ever receive the official results or a refund…
For unofficial results, according to my own watch, I finished in 1:56:28 which is a 8:53 pace. Yay!
The running has definitely paid off, but with consequences. My left shin hurts a lot. In the past month, I have shortened my running but it still hurts. I probably need more rest. This weekend, I am running part of the “Trail of Tears” with my coworkers which is about an 8 mile run that is over 50% hills. It’ll be tough… I hope that my leg will be okay by then…

US Half Marathon
Thursday, October 18th, 2007
My company is sponsoring us to run the US Half Marathon. There are three kinds of races: 1) Half marathon, 2) 12k and 3) 5k. I will be running another half marathon. I’m excited. This time around, I’ll train more; I’m going to try for a 20 mile week program: 7-5-3-5 or 3-10-3-5. Wish me luck!

I finished! 2:00:10
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007Last Sunday, I finished the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon. It was a good run. I finished faster than I expected. I was hoping to run a 10 minute pace and finish around 2:10. Instead, I finished in 2:00:10 with a pace of 9:10! I am pretty satisfied with the results but think I could had done better if I sprinted toward the finish line or picked up my pace in the last mile. NEXT YEAR, I WILL DO BETTER!

Faster, stronger!
Sunday, September 30th, 2007Back on August 4th, my personal best for Lake Merritt was 23:27. Fast forward to today, I got 22:58. Over the past two months, I have improved by 29 seconds. It’s not a huge improvement, but I am happy that I’m faster now. I hope that one day, I can run it in the 19s like the good old days.

It is official!
Saturday, September 8th, 2007
It’s official, I signed up for the race! My coworker and I will be running it on October 14th! I’m excited. It’s my first long race. It’s kind of scary when I think about it, but it shouldn’t be too bad…
My predicted time for the run is 2:30:00. I hope that I can make it… *crosses fingers*
