LV Half Marathon

Had a great race and finished strong.  I felt much stronger than last year, yet the last 3 miles were definitely unpleasant.  Overall time was 2:07:59, 4 minutes faster than last year.  Avg. mile pace was 9:45.  Will post actual splits later.

The Taper

I have cut back the last week in order to prepare for the race.  I did 4 miles on Friday 11/28 at a 9:30 pace.  Saturday and Sunday I did nothing.  Monday I did 6 miles easy.  Yesterday I did 4 miles easy.  Tonight I did 1 easy + 3x1mile at 9:00 pace, with a short rest in between + 1 easy.  Total mileage was 6 miles (including walking breaks).  I plan to do 2-3 miles tomorrow, and then 1-2 miles Friday.  Saturday I will just walk a little in Vegas.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I can SEE it!!

:)  Now all I have to do is find that Elvis outfit...
