into being a faster runner than I am :P
I have this plan to run the Long Beach Half... are you sick of hearing about it yet? And I set a time goal for myself. I am still too afraid to 'out' what it is. Because what if I... don't run fast enough?
Awesome Jill has given me some really great ideas and super advice on how to figure it all out and get as fast as I can... without hurting myself in the process.
She has suggested that today I do a timed mile... flat out... balls to the wall... drooling-and-puking-at-the-end kind of effort.
Okay.
I know she's right.
I know there will be a LOT of information to work with in the time for that
one
slim
mile.
But like I said yesterday... once the numbers start to mean something, I tense up.
She and I talked about the McMillan Calculator... which I love. I love that thing. Love. It.
It says I need to run a single mile about a minute faster than I probably can in order to hit my goal time for the half. Is it even possible to get that much faster in 17 weeks time?
I am psyching myself UP for this ... not out :P
Which is a euphemism for trying to trick myself.
I'll let you know how it goes.
