I ran my first half marathon in over 4 years this morning. I used the Garmin suggested workouts to train for the race and felt very well prepared. My default is just to do lots of easy miles when training, so I appreciated the various types of runs the watch suggested.

My initial goal when I signed up for the race was 1:45, and this morning my Garmin said I was in 1:42 shape. I went out with a goal of 1:40 and finished around 1:39:30, even with a slight detour that added about 2 tenths of a mile to my race. 😂

I’ll have a pretty light week next week and think about what to train for next.
