9 miles

I ran 9 mi at 9:26 min/mi. It was wonderful for the first 8 mi and then I got tired. Dave Scott said "Hi." This concludes 6 weeks of running at Vdot42. It's 6 weeks to the half marathon and I plan on doing that at Vdot43. This is an easy pace of 9:17 and a half marathon pace of 7:58 min/mi. I am going to run 7-8 mi easy, 8:00 min/mi 3-4 mi tempos and 11-13 mi long runs interspersed with backpacking 3 times. My target time for the half marathon on 9/13 will be 1:44:22. I am off to look at Nike Lunar Trainers at Boulder Running Co.
