we're in the homestretch. less than 2 weeks until the race. racing pros call this "tapering": the runs have lessened, we are to be aware of any extra activities that could cause injury and we're to really take care of ourselves in preparation. this includes good foods, lots of water and, most importantly, rest.
on that note, i pushed myself during our run yesterday and ran a 5K in less than 30 minutes!! i was way proud! my pace has improved, in large part due to running with Laura. she is a bit faster than me, but i do most of my mid-week runs with her so i try to keep up. i usually want to die by the end, but it's made me faster. like swinging with two bats...i guess only baseball/softball players would get that.
and so, i'm ready. mentally. physically. ready. over training. over raising support (which is done!!). ready to do this thing. Mini here we come!!
