T minus one week to the race! I've in the tapering/obsessively-looking-at-weather-dot-com phase. I did six miles on Thursday and skipped Saturday's three-miler because it was pouring (I'd like to avoid running in the rain before the race - I'm afraid I'd get a cold or ear infection). Today was lovely, but I worked late, lost an hour because of daylight saving time and had a birthday brunch to go to. Sooooo my running schedule this week is:
Monday: 3 miles
Wednesday: 2 miles
Friday: 10-15 minutes
Sunday: 13.1 miles!
As of now, weather.com is forecasting morning clouds/afternoon sun with a high of 61. PERFECT. Here's hoping it stays that way.
I'm contemplating something crazy, depending on how the Shamrock race goes. There is another half marathon nearby a month after this one. The splendidly named Dismal Swamp Stomp. We'll see if I have it in me to run two half marathons in a month. I'm thinking probably not ...
