Well I can finally run again and it's been great, despite feeling like I am starting all over again at altitude! I ran my longest run yesterday since CIM, which was only 10 miles, but a good start, especially since I averaged 6:57 pace. I feel confident that once I get my legs used to the miles again and start speed work I will be ready to rock out this spring! So what are the plans? I am going to race Running of the Green (4 miler) on March 15th. The following weekend I am running the Syracuse Half Marathon. I do not anticipate this to be my fastest half marathon, but hopefully a decent run for this early in the season. The first weekend in April I will run Delmar Dash with the goal of running ~30 seconds faster than last year. May 17th, is my goal race, Brooklyn Half Marathon, with the hope to run sub 80 minutes. From there I will take a month relatively relaxed before starting another training cycle in preparation for Chicago Marathon. We will see how it goes! I am moving back to NY next weekend, which means I will loose any altitude advantage I gained. I hope being at sea level will help me run my workouts at a faster pace! I had my iron levels check last month and they looked great, which is very encouraging. Maybe I have found my solution to iron deficiency and iron transfusions... Hema Plex!
Happy Running
