Taper week has come to a close. I lost another pound! And I have a blister on my boob (damn HRM/sports bra!)
So we now have our directions printed out, laundry clean, Garmins charged and I have set my playlist for the Half Marathon (or Mini Marathon as the Kentucky Derby is calling it which I think sounds worse than Half Marathon).
V's Boyfriend will not be able to join us. He has been stuck in Moscow for a week and a half due to that volcano. And is expected to go on another job on Tuesday for a few months somewhere else, but V is meeting us in Louisville.
I ran 3 miles yesterday. I ran a mile at 5mph (12 min mile), 1 at 4.7 and 1 all over the place. Not the best but it was done. Today's 2 miler was 17+ min/mile due to running with Guinness. I don't know if it was the pollen, her being 10, or out of shape. She got .8 miles and then I dragged her the rest of the way. We walked a lot. When I got home, I poured a bottle of water on her face. She was perfectly content. D took Scuttlebutt on his run. SB lasted 1.5 miles. So not much better. We were going to run at the track, but there was a field day or something there, and I didn't run infront of a whole bunch of HS kids. Poor Guinness, she was so excited to see the track and then confused when we immediately left. She'll live.
Hopefully next time I post, I will be an official Half-Marathoner!

I'll be cheering for you from Chicago.
Good luck! Remember that you have put in the work and the race is the celebration.
Best wishes for a WONDERFUL race experience. Try to soak it all in and have fun. :-)
Sounds like you trained really well for this race and will do awesome! Hope the weather is nice for you and it goes by quickly. My husband is a huge OAR fan.
Best of luck. My sister in law is running tomorrow as well - hope the weather is good!
I have a few of those songs. Good choices. Good luck - you're going to have a blast! Can't wait to hear the details!
