Today’s Run: \u00a050 min lifting at the “Y”<\/p>\n
This Saturday is the Big Day: \u00a0The scary Half Marathon I have been talking about-forever. We (my husband and I) began training for this particular race back in August. \u00a0It seems strange that you have to spend such an exorbitant amount of time preparing for a “little” run. \u00a0But it has taken us twelve weeks to prepare ourselves for this coming Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
This week is an “easy” week but probably one of the most difficult weeks of the training period. \u00a0It is the taper week. \u00a0This is the week with just a few (two) days of small runs and then the rest of the week you do NOT run. \u00a0That is the hard part. \u00a0Not running. \u00a0You are afraid that you will lose your conditioning. \u00a0You are afraid of injury. \u00a0You have guilt because you are doing a big fat nothing. \u00a0Nada. Zero.<\/p>\n
I know that this week is vital to the successful completion of the race and both of us are really tired from all the running we have been doing so I guess we will not look a gift horse in the face (is that how the saying goes?).<\/p>\n
So, this Saturday morning in Meridian, Mississippi, we will toe the line at 7:00 a.m. and run and run and run. \u00a0If you are up early and enjoying that first cup of coffee, give us a thought and a little cheer. \u00a0Here is the link to the race if you are interested. \u00a0leo run to remember<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today’s Run: \u00a050 min lifting at the “Y” This Saturday is the Big Day: \u00a0The scary Half Marathon I have been talking about-forever.
