| | Started on the 11th-Shore route on a dry, dark morning, but the rain soon started and I trimmed back the run. Taper week, I can tell myself. It was pouring by the end, so I'm glad not to be out there too long. Did about 3.5, I'm guessing, since I didn't run the regular route. 29:01. supernova red (a new pair, same exact shoes): 3.5

| | Easy running around my neighborhood, no route. Just ran for 30 minute at an easy pace, which is probably a little less than four miles. I went after work as it was getting dark, it was incredibly quiet and peaceful out. I don't think a single car went by, and that's at 7 p.m. Really nice, and I was completely relaxed. I'm feeling rested, legs are springy and fresh, so hopefully the taper is working. 29:45 supernova red (new): 7.5

Easy run on 11th-Shore, very dark but not too cold. My legs are loose and feel rested, but a taper of basically two weeks should do that, I suppose. Few more days and it's time to go, weather report still looks good for us. 29:50 supernova red (new): 11.5

| | Now that's what a call a taper week. I hope not too much. Another easy half hour on 11th-Shore Drive, this time with a few striders to make sure my legs were sharp. I feel good, rested and loose heading into the race. Now four hours in a car and I'll be at the course. Weather is forecast in our favor tomorrow. Josse asked on the blog yesterday about the race plan, so I'll answer that here. I'm planning to pace with Dale, stick together through the opening stages of the race. I want to be conservative, but within striking distance of sub-3:00 pace. Anything close to that will be good, and if we're still feeling good down the stretch hopefully we'll be sub-3. 30:39 | | Comments(5) |
