I...Congrats on running the 1/2 and your great time. I needed to read this as I'm running a marathon this Saturday and feeling all the nerves (ALREADY!). Interesting about your running app not being accurate. Just yesterday morning, my running app, Runkeeper, failed me. Up until yesterday morning's run, I think it was accurate. Yesterday, it said that I ran nine miles in just over an hour and that my pace per mile was exactly 7.00/ mile. Um, no. That run didn't happen at a 7 minute/ mile pace. I know the time was correct based on when I know I left my house that morning; I think I actually ran about seven miles. So frustrating! Then I got paranoid that the 20 mile run I'd done the week before was not really a 20 mile run meaning I hadn't done a really long run in several weeks. I remembered, though, that Runkeeper had my pace for the 20 miler at around 9:30/mile. That sounds realistic so at least I know that I did run 20 miles. It's just frustrating. How does GPS go wrong? I've burned through three Garmin watches and thought that a running app was my cheap way around buying a new Garmin watch. Ugh. I'm slightly optimistic that I may PR or at least PR post kids. I was a lot faster almost 20 years ago and no kids ago. But I think I can get close to my PR. Again, congrats on your awesome race!!Maria Rineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120512159630765006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-64673335375724498772016-09-11T17:54:58.230-05:002016-09-11T17:54:58.230-05:00Have you seen the 5 part doc-series, Run Mama Run?...Have you seen the 5 part doc-series, Run Mama Run? It's about a runner that was training for the Olympic Trials, got unexpectantly pregnant but continued to train. It's very inspirational!
