All Done!<\/p>\n
This is such a wonderful feeling!<\/p>\n
I started training for this race in March and today was the very last training run. \u00a0A 5K. \u00a03.1 miles. \u00a0It took me 25 minutes. \u00a0A PR for me, too! \u00a0My last 5K PR was 36 minutes, so this was a pretty substantial PR! \u00a0Cool Beans, huh?<\/p>\n
So, now, I twiddle my thumbs until Saturday, right!?!<\/p>\n
HA!<\/p>\n
No. \u00a0Now I go about making lists on what I am going to take with MFH (My Favorite Husband) and myself down to Jackson, Mississippi, for the race. \u00a0A list of things I want at which water stop during the race. \u00a0The various things I want in Ziploc bags for easy reach during the race. \u00a0AND most importantly, things for MFH to eat\/drink while I am running on Saturday. \u00a0I don’t want him to go hungry! \u00a0That would be bad.<\/p>\n
The weather forecast has let up a bit for Saturday. \u00a0The high is only supposed to be 95F instead of 99F. \u00a0Whew! \u00a0The wind is supposed to be from the SW at 5mph during the race. \u00a0So, there will be a bit of a breeze while I am running. \u00a0This is good.<\/p>\n
The bad news is, another person in my age division signed up for the race right before the deadline. \u00a0Boo. \u00a0She is good, too. \u00a0She has done a lot of Ultra’s and her average 50K time is right around 6hrs. \u00a0That’s fast. \u00a0Oh well…I’m going to go and have a great time! \u00a0That’s what I am going to do.<\/p>\n
I didn’t think that the end of training for this race would ever arrive and here it is. \u00a0I feel like a huge load has been lifted off my back. \u00a0No more training runs for two weeks.<\/p>\n
In two weeks, I hop right back into the middle of training for the Chicago Marathon. \u00a0I am already 8 weeks behind schedule for that race.<\/p>\n
Here we go again! \u00a0 \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
