Taper Time

Just 13 days away from the big race.  Hard to believe that the time is almost here.  I feel nervous and excited about completing the 26.2!

This week I ran 5 miles, 6 miles, and 8 miles for my weekly runs.  I kept it close to my goal marathon pace.  The runs were on the hilly side.  I ran after work each day, and I was somewhat racing the sunset.  My two longer runs ended with about the last mile in the dark. My long run was 13.1 on the levee trail.  This is a paved trail, which is basically flat.  My mom met me at mile 7 and ran the rest with me.  We ran side by side for about 3 miles, then she ran just a bit behind me for the final 3.  Today Dave and I took a relaxing 1 mile walk around the neighborhood.

This week I am planning on running 4, 6, 4, and 10.  Next week's plan is 3, 4, 2....then the big 26.2.
