Renewed motivation...


Today was the Miami Children's Hospital 4th Annual 5K <#MCH5K> and both Kaiyu and I ran. There was a great turnout and the race started on time (I love that!) and, of course, the medals were awesome!!!
Some pics for you at the beginning...

I got to hang out with former co-workers from MCH for a little before the race including Keva, who is one of my closest friends in the world. She's actually more like family to be honest. This is her getting a big hug from Kaiyu...

And I took advantage of Kaiyu's hugging mood and got one myself...

The weather was humid but not ridiculous...

I kept up my 3:1 ratio for the first 2 miles and then I ran the last 1.2 miles straight. I felt good running the last 1/3 of the race without stopping (especially considering the lack of sleep I'm suffering from...

My results...

Kaiyu's results...

Medal and bib...

Tomorrow is Week 1 of training with my new running group. It's a 3 mile run and we will be running in different sub-groups according to the interval ratio we assign ourselves to. I will either do the 3:1 or 4:1 group (going to decide in the morning). 

I have renewed motivation for my marathon training and am eager to get started with this new group. I'm still going to try and follow my planned mileage buildup according to the Jeff Galloway half marathon training plan. So basically if my running group is only going to do 5 miles (for example) and I am assigned 8 miles then I will run the extra 3 miles on my own (either before or after). This is my current training schedule for the rest of the year...
Wish me luck with my new running group!

Anyone training for the Palm Beach Half Marathon?
