Running Update: May 2014
Total Miles for the month: 105.1 Total Miles for 2014: 331.9 Longest run: 13.1 miles Fastest mile time: Still the same. Well, I conquered the Virginia Wine Country Half Marathon a couple days ago. It actually wasn't too terrible. I think I prepared pretty well so it didn't completely overwhelm me and I've recovered just fine. The race itself was GREAT. Beautiful weather, well organized, and a beautiful course. Lots of shade and lots of rolling hills (I'm not saying I loved the hills, but I am happy that they weren't worse than they were). My finishing time was 2:23:21 which made me happy because I was really hoping to finish in under 2:30:00, but wasn't sure I would due to bad allergies, hills, heat, etc. So that gave me an overall 10:57 pace. Which is awesome, in that I broke an 11:00 pace. And even more awesome when I look back at last May and see that I ran a 5k with an 11:16 pace. So it's not that I'm necessarily going much faster, but
