Swan Lake Half Marathon Race Goals

Last week I was lamenting to Kyle how bummed I was that I didn't break two hours in the half marathon this spring. With a long marathon training cycle on the horizon, it would be a huge confidence boost to have that under my belt. I did some quick searching online and realized that a local race I had wanted to do was on a Sunday instead of the Saturday I thought it was, and am scheduled to work on.

Hmmmm. The race was pretty cheap. The weather forecast wasn't terrible. My parents live 15 minutes away and would come watch. I'm in! The course is 2/3 gravel and 1/3 pavement, so it may be difficult to run sub 2 on, but even if that doesn't happen it'll still be a good hard race effort!

Without further ado, my race goals for Sunday are as follows:

• Sub 2. 
• PGSPR (Post grad school PR) <2:02:53.
• 2:02-2:05.

Half marathon #22, I'm coming for you!
