Lake Minnetonka Half Marathon 2011

This Sunday I will be running in the Lake Minnetonka Half Marathon. I ran the race in 2009 and was planning to do so in 2010 but couldn’t due to Plantar Fasciitis. This year I’m totally free of Plantar Fasciitis and in good shape for the race. Last week I ran a half marathon distance for training and didn’t have any foot pain. This morning I ran 10 miles at a pretty good pace and afterwards my legs felt great. I won’t be setting any personal records, but I’m hoping to complete the race in just less than two hours.

The Lake Minnetonka Half Marathon is nearly in my backyard. The race starts in Wayzata Minnesota and ends in Excelsior. About the last 2.5 miles is the same beginning route of most of my training runs. The race runs through mostly residential neighborhoods of Lake Minnetonka and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. It’s been two years since I’ve ran a race longer than 10k. I am really looking forward to this race.
