Training, adding a mile a week until I did 11.5 miles on March 26, our biggest training week.
As we added miles, I found it hard to do any additional activities - too tired & joints were sore. That is UNTIL I hit 11.5 miles, which felt great! Guess I had to get over that hump...and do LOTS of stretching.
Then we started our "taper" and today only(!) did an 8-mile training.
This was our 10.5 mile training day 2 weeks ago, me with Tami and we needed our hats to fend off the bright sunshine!
And hard to believe we're ready! But we are, we've trained hard, including the wet, blustery day today.
We have been very thankful that we've had such a mild and beautiful winter in which to train.
Today somewhat made up for it! Note the sudden appearance of coats & hats and some shivering!
We had our send-off party/potluck Wednesday 3/31 and received our coach's instructions and "words of wisdom" as we go into our final week of training.
The centerpiece is made of cookies. Too pretty to eat!! But there were lots of other options (I love potlucks!) And we're required to eat plenty of carbs to fuel our training, don'tcha know!
And, Kim, one of our Honored Teammates, a beautiful woman who is a survivor herself. Each time we meet, we make note of the Reason why we're doing this. Kim is one of our reasons!
The big day is a week from tomorrow!! Hard to believe it's already here.
We just have one more short group training before the race. Next up: 13.1 miles!!
