Las Vegas Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon

First tempo of 10K training

Purple face! Big sweaty times! It’s good to be back on the treadmill.

4 miles in 40 minutes while watching Marquette beat West Virginia.

My tempo:

– 15 minutes between 10:10 and 10:30 pace
– 15 minutes between 9:10 and 9:30 pace
– 10 minutes between 10:00 and 10:20 pace

I had to keep going back and forth, faster/slower, because I’ve definitely lost some endurance since my last 5K. I pushed it a bit in the end to get to 4 miles because I like round numbers. A lot.

I’ve also decided to not be upset about the 4:30 time limit for the Las Vegas Rock ‘n’ Roll marathon. I’m gonna train like hell and run that mother anyway.

Earning myself a DNF — Did Not Finish — is a helluva lot better than Did Not Try.

So… yeah. I’m running the Vegas strip at night!!

I would be super-duper-duper excited about this, except for the fact that there’s a 4:30 time limit on the marathon. Really?? For my first marathon, I don’t know if I can do that…

But the marathon and the half cost the same right now (super cheap — $121) and I can always drop down to the half, which has a time limit of 4:00 (uhhh, yeah, I can probably do that).

Either way, I’M RUNNING VEGAS! Are you??
