Comments Richmond Half Marathon. Knew I was in trouble today after consistency/recovery suffered with work, but hoped for the best. Started off with a 3 mi warmup in the pouring rain, getting soaked and cold for the start. Went out with a pack at 11:00 min for 2 miles feeling fine. Didnt catch a 4 mile marker, but slowed down slightly. Hit 10K in 35:00 feeling unmotivated and flat. My lungs just couldnt handle. course got tough between 6-8 and my pacing suffered. Gave up and decided to tempo through 10 before stepping off in frustration with this training cycle. Hit 10 in a casual 58 flat and shuffled back the last 3 miles at E pace with a sore knee and broken spirit. taking some time to rest and starting back at square 1. Coming at Boston with a vengeance this spring.
On the upside, successfully trained my brother to a 3:18 marathon. Full of pride watching him finish strong under 320 as planned.
