Broke Through the Wall
I’ve been training for a half marathon on October 10th. I’ve been running 3 times a week but I’ve been slow. My pre-Lucy slow pace was a 10 min/mile. I don’t even think my fast pace could be that now. I’ve been averaging over a 14 minute mile on my runs which has been quite a blow to my ego. I have to remind myself that I haven’t run regularly in almost 3 years and that I have to build up. I know from past experiences that one day your body just seems to adjust and you get faster (or at least I do). Today was that day!
I jumped down to a 11:44 min/mile pace. I’m super excited and proud of myself. Yippee!!!!

I totally have break throughs in my workouts too. We are so similar! Congrats on being so persistsant, it really does pay off. I know it’s no Ironman, but 13.1 is no cake walk, and I want to be
there to cheer you on this time!
This comment made me cry!
Thats awesome! Are you running outside or at the gym??
Outside!!!
hooray for you!! 🙂
way to go Chelsea! There is SO much that goes into how a run goes. You need to remember that getting out there and doing it is so much more important than how fast you go. The speed will come. Focus on endurance for now. Do you do intervals or run straight through?
Yipee!
