Training for the SOJO Half Marathon

Yesterday was my last long run before my half marathon this upcoming Saturday. I am super excited and nervous for this race. I have started to train to improve my PR. I really want to run this half under 2 hours. My current PR is 1:59 flat. So if I can beat that I will be pretty darn excited. I ran 9 miles outside in Payson while visiting my sister. When I started my run it was cold! By the end it started warming up. After I ran 9 miles I came to my sisters and so I could use the bathroom then I ran for another 1.5 miles on her tredmil. I was shooting for 12 miles, but the 9 miles I did out side were VERY hilly. So i was worn out. My total time was about 9:06 a mile, a little slower than what I wanted. Still hopeful to get under my 1:59. Less than a week. So excited!
