I caved and bought an apple watch and am so very happy with how it tracks my swimming and walking!

Oy vey… Ran / Survived the Val Nalasco half-marathon this morning.
Two and a half hours of pain and agony, although I beat my personal best (from the first half I ran in April) by 3 minutes… so there’s that, at least.
The course was a Certified B*tch, though — since it was an ‘Out and Back’ type, you ended up going up and around Diamondhead twice (once at the 2-mile point, then again at the 11-mile point.
).
And now, back to our regular level of grousing.
Cheers,

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday: 50 minutes Zone 2 cardio, 65 minutes total
Sat: 5 mile hike, 1000 ft of elevation gain
Next week plan is to bump up to 55 minutes of Zone 2 cardio on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. And then I have a hike next weekend. Looks like a 10 miles 1900 ft elevation gain one. Finally starting to see the positive impact of the zone 2 training.
Planning to add in Yoga and Strength Training in January.

Hiked 4.5 miles 1000 ft of elevation gain on Saturday. Hiked 4.5 miles 1400 ft of elevation gain on Sunday.
Week plan is zone 2: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. And a 4 mile hike Saturday morning. I’d like to get in a 10 miler on Sunday. We’ll see if that happens.
