Ugh.<br /><br />I do think my headaches are related to the atmospheric pressure of all these storms, but I hate saying it because I think people will think I'm making it up. But I really do think that's what's doing it. I seem to be getting headaches pretty frequently the last couple weeks.Ali K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15736472530374069410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-24436676669402934892016-08-29T18:11:14.936-07:002016-08-29T18:11:14.936-07:00Before I started marathon training, I ran comforta...Before I started marathon training, I ran comfortably in the mid-to-upper-9s. My 10k PR is 58:xx and it's a couple years old. When I began training for my first marathon, I slowed way down, and then had trouble shaking that. So that's why I've been focusing on short distance and speed this year; it was my intention to find my fast again and hopefully hold onto it for the next time around when I decide to do another marathon. I posted about it all last October or November when I decided to take 2016 off from marathoning. <br /><br />Ideally, I'd like to get faster than I was before. I'm hoping to someday be running comfortable in the high-8s. <br /><br />So, short answer...yes, I've gotten faster, but it's more like a return to my "usual." FINALLY :) Thanks for noticing haha!Ali K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15736472530374069410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-32595188352266088572016-08-29T18:05:05.771-07:002016-08-29T18:05:05.771-07:00I hope you enjoy it!

We don't have hills at ALL in my part of Florida, but luckily I live about 5 minutes from a pretty solid bridge, and there are huge bridges all over my city because we live right near the water!Ali K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15736472530374069410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-891809037843727232016-08-29T18:04:02.468-07:002016-08-29T18:04:02.468-07:00I see warning signs on my parents' course beca...I see warning signs on my parents' course because it's private, but even those signs are more in regards to "during playing hours".

At that point, there are people out there messing around, but I've never seen an actual party on the course at that time.<br /><br />We're prepping for the storms, but chances are we'll just get a little rain and not much else!

I actually have no idea how that's possible! <br /><br />I wonder if the storms are causing headaches.

I'm seeing such an improvement from your marathon training paces and it's really impressive!<br /><br />I always feel sort of mad at myself when I end my week with missed workouts too. But I'm sure once the new week gets under way you'll forget all about it and feel much better!Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728566362857791633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-61261210416951561592016-08-29T10:13:44.159-07:002016-08-29T10:13:44.159-07:00Will definitely try that Pilates video!

Roger (my fiancé) used to live in Fort Lauderdale, and tells me that was what he called his hill training, running up the bridge, because that was the most elevation he would have. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110855725544210793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-24482394963234757602016-08-29T04:57:01.615-07:002016-08-29T04:57:01.615-07:00"it's all about consistency over time&quo..."it's all about consistency over time" <--- You got it, girl!<br /><br />I don't think we are allowed to run on golf courses on here.
