I was thinking about raising the bar on my goals, because I am now where I wanted to be next race season, so I can do better. I can run a 10 minute mile for a hilly 6 miles, and I feel I could keep up that pace for a 1/2 marathon, especially on flat terrain! A 10 minute mile was my goal for VA Beach next Sept. So, I now want to do a Boston Qualifying pace for that race, which, for my age group is a pace of 8:45. That’s a much bigger goal…scary but I think I can do it!
That reminded me of something I saw at the VA Beach 1/2 marathon. I saw several runners wearing wristbands with times printed on them for each mile, so they could track if they were on target with their pace. I searched google for pace wristband, and found this nifty tool:
