Did a nice easy 5K yesterday for my last real run this week. Trying not to think about it too much, lots of other excitement this weekend… But may do 1-2K on Saturday just to get out the jitters.
Package pickup is tonight and tomorrow, gotta find some time to get out there. Also, looking forward to the next race (something I read was a good idea while preparing to run and dealing with taper week)… I’m not really sure what to do there. I’d like to try and run a fast marathon this year while my speed is up. I’m thinking either Seattle in December, or there’s a night one in Las Vegas in November… I’ll be looking into those today!
Taper week does suck though, what am I supposed to do tonight if I’m not running or partying?! heh. Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving non-existent readers! I’ll post post-race. 🙂
Anyways, headed back last night for my last hilly 10K before the 50K grizzly this weekend. Still pretty nervous, but thinking back to how I was prepared for my marathon back in May vs how I’m prepared now makes me feel better. I still didn’t do enough long long hilly runs, but I’ve put in some really good miles, and have to hope that’ll carry me through the 1600+ meters of vertical involved (which honestly worries me much more than the 50K of trail). The last time I did 1600 meters in one day, it was climbing the Calgary tower 10 times over 6 hours, and I was wrecked… Though that was in my pre-running days.
Anyways, the run last night went well, it was  a great last trail run and confidence builder. I shall leave you (*cough* non-existant *cough*) readers with some pictures of Glenbow Ranch’s awesomeness!
