My first Run-Walk Half

I signed up for the inaugural San Diego Women's Half Marathon. It seemed like a fun event. Since Irene was not available to walk with me, I decided to try a Run-Walk. Of course, every time I say "run" here I mean jog very slowly.

I don't know anything about the most effective way to do this, so I just decided to try 10 minutes running and 5 minutes walking. I actually ended up running only for the first 25 minutes, so my time for the first two miles were really good. I was able to keep the 10 minutes run, 5 minutes walk pace up for the rest of the first 6.5 miles. The I had to switched to 10 minutes walking, 5 minutes of running.

Mile 11-12 were really tough for me, so I just walked. I ran again for the last half mile. But I don't even want to tell you what my heart rate was for the half mile - it wasn't sure I would make it. But I did make it. And my time ended up nearly identical to last weeks walk, 2:56. So I was pretty happy about it.
