Today was my 12 miler. I’m tapering now, and it was kind of weird. i got home in just 2 hours. I’ve shaved ten minutes off my half marathon pace, which is great, but I dont know that I can sustain that in the big race.
I missed going longer than 12. I almost did 13 instead, just because it felt like I was cheating somehow!
but the great thing is that I got home in time for my kids to wake up. Usually they have waken, eaten and are ready to go do something. Today we all had breakfast together.
I can’t believe I have just two weeks to go! It seems so long ago that I started this. I looked through my training book last night and smiled at some of the notes that I took.
What a great journey!
I’ll be happy to get back to doing my 15 milers. I like the 13s too. But I’ll be really happy when, in two weeks, I’m standing at that starting line ready to go!
