Collecting My 6th 1:4X Half Marathon... My ZOOMA Cape Cod Recap!

Collecting My 6th 1:4X Half Marathon... My ZOOMA Cape Cod Recap!

As race day for the ZOOMA Half Marathon on the Cape approached, my mind silently plotted a time goal. Normally I am quite vocal about what I am aiming for during a race, but this one I wanted to keep under wraps.

Why?

I'm really not sure. It isn't out of the ordinary for me to set at least 3 levels of race goals so that I can accomplish at least one of them and feel pleased with the outcome of the race - whatever that may be. 

But it had been awhile since I had set a time goal for a half marathon.

*Marathon Training Update* Rockin' Savannah In 59 Days...

When we last left the marathon #9 training story, I had the hydration plan under control thanks to Essentia Water... but the rest was a mystery! :P

Well that was a start, but there was the small detail of a training plan that needed to be addressed. I haven't followed a really structured training plan in a couple of years. Outside of my long runs that were set by Tedy's Team for the past couple of Boston Marathons. Now I am not recommending this plan to folks - haha - it's just what ended up transpiring in my life. I was kind of winging the weekday workouts, which didn't really bring me the results I wanted. Shocking I know. ;)

So this time around, I wanted a little more structure. I had dabbled in the idea of getting a running coach, but that wasn't in the financial cards.
