A Faster Finish

I can't believe I only have two more weeks until the half marathon in Normal.  I finished one with no problem last November but I really don't feel like I have been training as hard for this one.  I don't have a specific plan.  I just made up my own.  I'm a little concerned about my speed because last year we incorporated some short sprints in our runs, but this year we have done that a total of one time!  

But after running the Shoreline Classic 15K race in Decatur this morning I am feeling more confident.  We (by we I mean Corrinne and I) cut a few minutes off our time and improved our average pace from 10:50 miles last year to 10:27 minute miles this year.  The weather was much better this year so that might have been part of it (last year it was raining).  But I'm just going to think I'm getting faster :)

Here is what I had to eat after the race...9 miles will give you a healthy appetite!

 

And of course we had to stop at Wack Arnold's for a sweet tea (or in my case...half sweet, half regular)
