Running Accomplishments:

After one year of running I ran a local half marathon as my first race and ran it again this year after two years of running.

My time was 1 hr 50 min compared to 2 hrs 11 min last year and pace increased from 10:02 to 8:25. The progress feels good but there's lots of room for improvement.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Maintain base mileage and add a few miles a month.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to stay healthy and continue making progress.

Personal:

My wife and I have one son in kindergarten.

First interval workout from Hansons Beginner Half Marathon plan. 12x400.  I've done strides and tempo runs but this was my first attempt at doing intervals on a track.  

It was okay but I think it will take a couple more attempts to understand how to have my Garmin set up to do the workout.  I creted the workout by distance but I think having it set by time will probably work better.

Overall, the intervals felt good but I didn't stick to the planned paces or times for each lab because I didn't really know what I was doing. I ran hard one lab, then ran easy one lap, repeated 12 times and did a 1.5 mile warm up and 1.5 mile cool down.

1.5 mile warm up, 3 mile tempo run, 1.5 mile cool down.  I never get my pace right for tempo runs and always end up doing closer to 5k pace than half marathon pace.
