Half goal time???

As of right now my half marathon mile pace (HMP) is 9:30:00, which puts my goal at just over 2 hours; 2:04:58. I'm hoping by the next month that I am able to drop that time down under two hours, with a much more reasonable pace time as well. If I can drop my HMP to 9:00:00, I can get finish in under two hours! That makes me very happy! So until then I need to continue training, and work on speed interval work outs more. Today I ran a 5k at a reasonable pace, but want to get it going faster in the next month. I then moved on to doing quite a bit of weight training; leg extensions, press, and curls - all done together and separately with each leg. I don't want to neglect my arms, so I made sure to do bicep curls, tricep extensions, vertical bench press, rowing machine, and seated bench press. Yes, you could say that my arms are tired right now. One other thing that I make sure to work on every time I work out is both my back (especially lower back) muscles, and abdominal & oblique muscles. Every runner must keep these muscles toned as well to help keep their posture while out on long runs. Off to go make some dinner!

Over and out!

Lo!
