Waverly notches distance PR in next-to-last long run!
11.6 miles! 4 loops of Memorial Park!
With the Striders' Longest Long Run left next Saturday morning, Waverly should now be in excellent shape for a sterling half marathon debut. She covered the distance in a running time of 2:37:38.17 -- 13:35 per mile. Splits looked like this:
Loop 1 -- 38:09.21 -- 13:09/mile (followed by a 5:25.63 water break)
Loop 2 -- 39:27.60 -- 13:37/mile (followed by a 8:24.57 bathroom break)
Loop 3 -- 41:36.50 (3.0 miles) -- 13:52/mile
Loop 4 -- 38:24.86 (2.8 miles) -- 13:43/mile
There were some motivational issues during the 3rd loop, but otherwise she probably ran 90% of the entire distance. She did a great job!
I don't run at Memorial Park often so it is just simply incredible for all of the people that you see out there running. This morning alone, at various times, there were:
Striders -- Tommy King, Brett Riley, Aimee Solway, Charlie Rodriguez
Houston Harriers -- Suzanne Day
Tornados -- Francisco Perez
Kenyan Way -- Sean Wade
Roberta MacInnis and her husband were out running. She recognized me, even with my hat on, stopped and introduced herself. Also on the loop (running with Sean a little bit) was Raymond Cooper from Finish Strong Sports.
Good weekend for me overall. No racing. Friday, I spent an hour and a half at Bally's in The Woodlands (an hour on the elliptical trainer -- 5.59 miles -- and a half hour on the bike ... almost experienced some problems with my achilles muscle again.) I was worried, but I was able to run on Saturday with Jen. 16 miles on Saturday and 11.6 miles today.
28 days until "race day"!

I think "motivational issues" were attacking more than just Waverly today! I know I didn't feel like running. And she went farther than me!
