It's been a couple weeks and I've been fairly busy! The week after 22 miles was a fast twelve miles and it was great. Then we entered into taper time.
My sister and nephew were in town for Thanksgiving and we had a great time! I was still able to get my runs in. I ran the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. I wasn't planning on pushing myself too hard since White Rock was only a week and a half away. I did the 8 miles in 1:07:33! I was very pleased with my time. My mom, sister, and nephew all came out to watch and we had a great time.
Last Saturday's run was just 9 miles and I did it on my own in the morning. It was pretty weird sleeping in a bit and not having to get up at 5 am!
This week is tapering as well to prepare for the race. Monday was a short, easy 30 minute run. Monday was a 45 minute walk. Tuesday was a 45 minute slow run. Today was an hour walk and tomorrow is an easy 30 minute run. Friday and Saturday are off! Not running as much is really weird. Walking today and on Monday was really weird, but still enjoyable. I kept wanting to run!! I think that's a sign that I'm a runner at heart :)
So tommorow is my last run before the actual marathon. The next time I lace up my running shoes it will be time to run the 26.2!! Oh my gosh!
The forecast for Sunday morning is COLD and possibly rainy. I'm a little nervous!!
