Run, Run, Run Away Baby

If you saw my Blogmopolitan Quiz post on Wednesday you know it's been a big challenge for me to train for my half marathon coming up in April. I am not a morning person so morning runs are out of the question and we can all agree after working 8:30am-5:30pm the last thing you want to do is go run six miles with hills at your HMP [half marathon pace.] Yuck.

I decided the best way to get out of my rut and combat my lack of motivation would be to have a change of scenery every run this week. Wednesday I did 3 miles over the river and around the stadium.

This view was well worth running directly into the wind for 1.5 miles!

Yesterday I balled out an epic 4 mile run at Centennial Park.

It was surprisingly nice to be running with an audience. And a special thank you to the girl that was right off my shoulder for the last 2 miles, helped me hit an 8:44 pace!

Oh, and our medal design being released might have added some motivation.

Any and all training tips would be welcomed!

So here's to the next five weeks of training, keeping a 9 minute pace, and those sprinkle donuts that will be waiting for us back at my loft after!
