![]() The last few miles were a mental challenge, and the thought of giving up ran through my mind. As I was running and I reached mile 11, my legs started to feel like lead and stiffen up. When the race finally came, my cardio strength was in good shape unfortunately, my ability for my legs to sustain 13.1 miles was just not there. I was nowhere near my planned target pace, and my endurance was just not there. As I was training for the race, I had pulled my calf muscle about two months before the run, so my training sessions were mostly focused on keeping it light and recovering from my pulled muscle. So when I signed up for my first Half-Marathon in Las Vegas, I did not know what to expect. I had never run a Marathon, Half-Marathon, 10K, or a 5K. My first Half Marathon was last year at the Rock ‘N’ Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon race, let’s say it was an interesting experience. It’s a 13.1 mile run from Prospect Park Brooklyn, through Manhattan, and finishing at Central Park. Well, this is it! We are now 3 weeks away from the New York Road Runners 2020 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon.
