Indy Mini

I'm running the Indy Mini this weekend. And suddenly everything on my body is falling apart! Lovely.

My feet, shins, and knees are killing me. Honestly, I should have gotten new shoes about 4 months ago, but we are "living like no one else". Vomit.

But my goal is still 1:39. Yikes. Makes me nervous even saying that out loud.

So my average pace needs to be 7:30. Which means I will shoot for the following breakdown:

Mile 1 & 2: 8:00

Mile 3 & 4: 7:45

Mile 5, 6, 7: 7:30

Mile 8, 9, & 10: 7:15

Mile 11-13: 7:00

And no, I don't have a Garmin. I admit to being a stone age runner. So I will be doing the math in my head. Which I'm really not very good at!

This gives me about a 2 minute leeway to feel sorry for my achy knees.

I don't have my post-baby hormones this year, but at least it's flat!
