Today I completed my last race of the year, a 4 mile loop around Central Park, 34 minutes @8:45min/mile pace. I haven't been running as much as I should have like when I was training for the Grete's Gallop Half Marathon. I did some training this week but running no more that 2 miles on each run.
Today, I got a late jump and arrive to the race with just enough time to drop off my bag and get to my corral. I usually arrive early and have at least a 30 minute warm up. I had a somewhat decent breakfast of oatmeal and toast with PB. I also had Gatorade and a GU peanut butter energy gel.
I had a easy start and was able to run non-stop for the first 2 miles and as soon as I hit the hard hills I started slowing down. I only stopped twice for less than a minute each time which was not so bad. So my training goal for next year is more hill training and more hill training. I need to improve my endurance and it will take some serious training.
