Total Distance

12.00

Ran with the club. Did a loop out in Ivans and Santa Clara. Pretty good run. Again I had planned to do another run this afternoon but did not have a free second until after 10p.m. and by then I was dead. My goal for the week was 64 and I feel just short. Two days in a row my days ran away from me, not allowing a afternoon run. The lesson here is that I am thankful I did the morning runs to at least get some miles in.

Good work on 61 miles for the week. Keep it up. Regarding taper for the half-marathon. For this one, I would recommend starting it on Wednesday with 8, then 6 on Thursday, and 5 on Friday. Throw in a mile or two at half marathon pace on each of those days to be mentally prepared for the race.

Thanks for the advice.

I am pretty sure you can register for the half marathon on active.com. I just registered at classic sports in Hurricane, but that is close to where I live so it was easier, plus I saved the $3 on the internet fee. You should be able to run a pretty good time on this course. I felt pretty good Saturday afternoon, hopefully there won't be much wind this Saturday morning. There was quite a bit of wind the other day.

Note that in the past the Hurricane half-marathon had a short course. My friend Mike West won it I believe in 2004 in 1:14. He was not in shape to run 1:14 at that time on an out and back course. More likely 1:17. So I would guess half a mile short. Press a bit on the race director to get the course certified, or at least properly measured.
