I didn't realize how long it's been since I've posted on here. Time seems to be flying by and the marathon seems to be running up on me faster than I can track.
I have spent tonight fueling up on pasta and water in prep for my first half marathon on Sunday at Hampton Beach. I have been fighting off injuries basically since November when i started the training and at this point I'm just getting over some soreness and tightness in my right foot. I ran a nice slow 6.5 miles on Wednesday and unfortunately didn't get to the gym to hit the bike today. At this point I'm not going to go out between now and Sundays race, and I can already feel my body itching to get some activity.
I'm going with the family up to Peabody tomorrow morning to spend the day at my mother in laws and spend the night there so we have a short ride Sunday Morning. it will be nice for Amy and I to have some alone time for the day and am excited to have her there.
My goal for the race is to be able to hold myself back for the first 5 to 6 miles of the race and not get out too fast on a fast flat course. Once I hat the 6 mile mark, I'd like to let loose a little bit and finish strong. I'll be very disappointed to finish anything over 2 hours, and I have a stretch goal of 2:55 but I won't be terribly disappointed if I don't get there.
I'll post after the race.
