This past Thursday was the Outback Classic 1/2 Marathon...and needless to say, my running has been VERY sporadic. So, I was even more out of shape that I had originally anticipated! Don't get me wrong, I have been doing some running...the week before I think I squeezed in 3 days of running, but it always seems that something comes up to kill a good streak. This is made more worrisome by the fact that I have the Jacksonville Marathon coming up in 2 1/2 weeks...and my longest run so far has been one 15 miler...the marathon is REALLY going to hurt.Anyhow, the Outback Classic is sort of a tradition, and a good way to eat a big semi-guilt free Thanksgiving feast!
My goal was to break 1:30, and I knew that I would have to be very consistent with my pacing to make that happen...especially considering my lack of mileage, there would be little room for error. In the end, I held a pretty even pace, and didn't come apart the last 5k...which HAS happened in the past...and then I sprinted home to a 1:29:53 (1:29:50 chip time, 6:51/mile). Danny "Double D" Domingo ran a 1:17:52! Yikes...he's back! The weather was perfect and everyone seemed to have a fast time.On another topic...Danny "Double D" Domingo's birthday is today! He's the ripe old age of 35, and I informed him that in my experience...it's all down hill from there ;-) Happy birthday Double...below are a couple links to Danny getting some workouts in for the 2009 season...enjoy!
