Hello! Sorry I have not blogged in a few weeks. I am in taper mode, and so things are calm and resting around my running. I know my inclination to
over train.... You have to run smart. My friend Kellie and I are about to fulfill a dream of ours. We are going to run together. We talked this week and decided to run the
Atlanta Half instead of the full. What? Yes, I feel so confident in my marathon training, that this is not really bugging me that much to switch. We decided that with her injury recovery and our desire to stay together during the race (would not happen in the Marathon), we should do the half. It will be a blast, a dream, and a great accomplishment. Kellie headed onto the Marathon path a couple of years ago, and I told I did not think I would ever run one. But we made a pact that we would do one together at 35. Well we are 36, not bad. I cannot believe how far we have come. My health is completely different, and I owe inspiration to Kellie and her never-ending goal setting. I am looking forward to this run so much!
VOTE for my time: Garlic Roll if you are the closest
- Last year's time: 2:40. I had just completed my first full-marathon 2 weeks earlier and was completely worn out. Probably should not have run it, but I did.
- It is a tough course, but you know how I like the hills. I think my strategies have improved
- I am trained for a FULL, so a half should be a piece of cake....really, what is 13 miles?
- My legs feel completely fresh
- I have been tapering well and eating well
- It is thanksgiving and I'll want to get home and eat
