That is how far I have ridden my bike or ran since 11/6/2016.

Anyone that knows me knows I am not a runner. Well, happy final Sunday Runday!!!

I have run pretty religiously for the past 16 weeks training for a half-marathon. I have run at 23 degrees, in the rain and in 30mph wind gust.

Today was my last official training run before next weeks race. Honestly, I really did not expect to feel bad about it ending, but I do.

I have never on my life been a runner. When I started in August, I could barley run a 10-minute mile....and I hated running.

I started training November 6th 2018 for the Cowtown Half-Marathon. I used a canned training program through my Garmin that was based on basically running 5 days a week with two of those being speed workouts.

Training data is as follows:

Total Time = 5,356 minutes (89 hours)
Total Distance = 957 miles (cycling and running)
Running Distance = 340 miles
Avg. Speed = 6.5mph (running only)
Avg. Heart Rate = 144
Calories = 61,340 (17.53 lbs.)
Avg. Cadence = 174
Total Elev. Gain = 9,397 feet

My goal for the half is 2 hrs or just under...but secretly I want to be closer to 1:45:00.

At that pace you could ride from El Paso to Orange in about 84 hours.

That's pretty cool. Waiting to hear your results/experience.

I can't run do to hip issues. But I did get 3600 miles in on the bike last year.

Congrats and good luck on your event JJ

Good luck and finish strong !
