After crushing my 5k goal, I've still got my 10k goal which I'll have the opportunity to attempt a sub 50 minute PR in May at the Memorial Day 10k. I had a goal sub 1:50:00 PR for my half marathon since 2018, but every time I'd try to hit it, I'd blow it and actually crash and burn. It really hurt my ego, and so I refocused my efforts.
With my 5k PR goal crushed, and looking at crushing my 10k goal in May, it seems even more possible to crush my half marathon goal. Using a pace calculator, in order to run a 1:49:58 for 13.1 miles, I would need to average a pace of 8:24 min/mile.... WHICH seems quite doable at this moment. My half marathon isn't until September 30th and I don't really see another one before that, at least not within 45 minutes from me. I can't even find one that is less than an hour and a half, so unless Cameron and I agree to a quick out of town stay at a hotel... September 30th it is.
During the middle of the week I signed up for the virtual Flying Pig Half Marathon that's in May....
My other major goals for 2023 is to attempt and complete my 7th marathon, even if that means a solo/virtual one here in Warrick County. A very big goal, which might turn out impossible for 2023... is to complete my first ever 50k (31-32 miles) and do it solo out here in Warrick County.
