Pulled my previous HM data from athlinks, this is a wonderful website that has all your race results and it is so easy to go get the ones they don't have as long as you have a website, so my previous fastest HM is Akron at a pace of 10:19. I have been training using Matt Fitzgerald's Brain Training for Runners Book to be able to run this HM at a 9:02 pace (1:58:34). I plug in my most recent 10K and 10 miler result into the Mcmillian calculator based on 10K race of 8:33 pace, I can run the HM pace as written by Fitzgerald, based on the 10 miler pace of 9:34, I can run the HM at a pace of 9:42 (2:07:06)

I felt the training went well but I think for this race, just like I found out when I did the last 10K race it is not that I can't run the pace it that I have to mentally focus to run it and start out slow on pace and in control.

So goal

A: 9:02 pace (1:58:34)
B: 9:42 pace (2:07:06)
C:10:19 pace (2:15:09)

I will be using the Training Partner on my Garmin, it really help keep me on pace either to slow down or go faster. The race director has been great emailing us update as things are happening since this is the first year for the race.

This has really been a different training year, I can actually say I trained instead of just running and it really was fun because I get to see what my body is capable of doing at the age of 41 considering the fact that I have never been athletic or participate in sport growing up. So regardless of what happen tomorrow, I know I can do the pace but it may not be my day but I plan on giving it my best shot and finishing.
