Taper Week

So in case anyone still reads this, I did my fourth half marathon back in August. Lululemon's half marathon in Vancouver called Seawheeze. I spent most of last year losing weight (down 33 lbs. now) and Seawheeze was my inspiration to lose it and get back into running again. I got injured a couple months beforehand but was still able to do the race in 3:12:00.

Now it's taper week again as I prepare for my fifth half in Detroit this Sunday!

I've set 3 goals:
Easy goal: Under 3 hours
Moderate goal: Under 2:45:00
Challenging goal: Under 2:30:00

Working on eating well this week, getting lots of rest with only a couple easy 2-3 milers, and hydrating.

After that, I have a backroads trail race (10K) on November 8, and would like to sign up for a couple winter 5K races. Next spring I have my sixth half marathon in Indianapolis in May and my seventh will be in Chicago in July...my first full marathon (if I can get in).

Oh yes, and DH did a 5K over the weekend just for fun...the Super Run! So everyone dressed as super heroes. So much fun even though the course was short at 2.87 miles and not officially timed.

DH & I before the race. It was only 40 degrees. Not sure how he wore shorts!

I was the only Spiderman (out of 50 people)

DH finishing!

Good time for me considering last year at this time that would've taken me an hour.
Also had my fastest mile since I've had this watch...9:58!
