Last Run Before the Big Race…

Wednesday Night I was suppose to do a tempo run. But because I still needed to pack for Florida I blew it off. I also blew off my 3 mile run yesterday as I was busy flying most of the day. Such brazen disregard of Hal! Well I just decided to up the “Tapering” quotient of the week.

In theory I am off until the race on Sunday but today Stacy had to run 3 miles and since it was so warm and beautiful here in Florida I decided to tag along. We took it really easy, about 9:30, and just enjoyed the day. It was great. We ran on A1A and along a public beach. So fun! In fact when we got to the turnaround for the 3 mile mark we just kept running. I felt fine and blowing off some nervous energy is never a bad thing.

All in all we logged 5 miles and I wasn’t even that tired at the end. I feel strong and ready to go. I realize the pace was fairly slow, but it really was a confidence boost. I think I’ll be OK on Sunday.
