Clever is as Clever does

Finding something clever to talk about can actually be a daunting task! Crazy as it sounds, but I was actually sitting here thinking that I really needed to write an update as I haven't yet for this month. And, these blogs love to categorize themselves by month. Yes, I know what you're thinking. "Christine, are you giving a blog anthopomorphic qualities?" The answer is "Yes. And, don't you love how I threw in a really big word and even used it in a somewhat proper manner?"

On to my update! The beginning of December is showing lots of changes. Changes in the weather (much much much colder for Tuesday night track! This past Tuesday, CYN needed 3 jackets to stay warm. Was I envious? Heck ya.) and changes to my training. I completed the latest Tuesday clinic where they did a time trial. Run a 5k around the track and we'll see how fast you do it. Then they had us input the time into a chart to see how long it will take us to run various events. According to them, I can finish the 1/2 marathon in a little under 3.5 hours. And that was with a gimpy knee and everything. See below for my nifty chart.

What I'm laughing about is whether or not I can stay under the Disneyland Half-Marathon required pace of a 16:00 mile (my goal for after the SF 1/2). I'm at about 12:00 right now so does that mean I have 4 minutes of wiggle room? Or, is it wiggle run? Ha ha ha. We'll just have to wait and see.
