Dude, I'm hyperventilating!! And I think my body is subconciously trying to sabotage me. I've been taking it easy (possibly too easy?) and my left knee and shin started aching a little yesterday. I'm thinking it's because I had on flat sandals all weekend. So I'll definitely have to make sure and do my foot, shin, and OA knee exercises this week.
I found a Race Week workout in the October issue of Runner's World that I will do this week. I also read some really great advice on warm up routines. I think one of my mistakes on the Athena 15k was that I didn't warm up adequately. I think for the 1/2 marathon I will park my car in my office building and walk down to the Country Music Hall of Fame. It's about 13 blocks so that should be a pretty nice warm up w/o tiring out my legs; just need to allow enough time.
It's hard to believe that all my training these past 82 days is coming down to how I prepare this week. . .Whatever happens, I've enjoyed the journey (most of it).
