Run - Run - Run...

These last few days have been busy! Wow.

With teaching classes, lot's of stuff at work, and training - who would have thought I would have time to run a Half Marathon. Well - I did it!

On Saturday I completed the Helvetia Half Marathon. It was a beautiful run.

Leading up to that day, I had not done much 'Run' specific training. I completed about 18 miles worth of straight running over the last 8 weeks. The rest of my training was CrossFit, which often incorporates running, but usually no more than 1-2 miles per workout. Go ahead and look through my last Blog entries, you will see - not much running.

With that being said, I am proud to share my achievement - I completed the Half Marathon in 1:45:20... that is about an 8 minute average per mile for 13.1 miles straight!

I placed within the top 23% of my age group and top 10% overall.

I can guarantee that I did not put in as many miles as most of the participants out there. CrossFit is such an 'Overall' conditioning program, you don't need to train for any one specific sport (unless you want to specialize ONLY in that one sport).

With my diet (Vegetarian Zone - 21 Blocks) and proper rest, my recovery was pretty quick. After a nice little nap on Saturday (Race Day), I was back to working out by Sunday!

I LOVE CROSSFIT!!!
