I have run several half marathons and one full. I had a foot surgery a couple years ago and got out of the routine of running. I am slowing breaking back into running and have a goal of running a decent trail half marathon in August.
Short-Term Running Goals:
I would like to run regular half marathons and increase my pace to an average 10 min/mile or under. I have never completed a half at that pace. I would also like to possibly venture into trail runs and/pr triathlons.
Long-Term Running Goals:
Ongoing fitness and health consistently running and improving speed and mileage.
This was a trail run, with narrow trails and unstable footing. It was not a fast run for me as we had to walk much of it. The first mile was straitht up the mountain which killed my legs for the remainder of the trail run.
