I spent the last four days in Florida. We flew down on Tuesday and returned earlier today. It was a great vacation, but the notable thing for this blog is that I ran on two of the days and went to the gym for one. Vacation is not the usual time for working out. Typically, running or gym visits lose out to other activities (or non activity) while on vacation.
Maybe it was knowing that the Half Marathon is Sunday. Or maybe it was knowing that after I ran (in much more humid conditions than was happening at home just before I left) I could jump in my sister's pool! Whichever I'm glad I got out because if I hadn't I would likely psych myself out about Sunday's half.
So it's time for my goals for Sunday's event.
#1 and #2 - Have fun and finish.
#3 - I'd really like to run the second half faster than the first half. Although I do try to concentrate on not going out too fast, I always slow down at the end. I have yet to have an event where my pace does not get slower as the miles pass.
So here's hoping we ALL have a great time.
