Finally got a chance to run today.  Crazy week.  Sick mom, caring for grandson, and grad word due (feeling a little overwhelmed).  Ran in my daughters neighborhood which used to be my neighborhood when I was little.  I mapped out a 4 mile route that looped back to my daughters house so I could refuel and drink.  It is a beautiful neighborhood with sidewalks, mature trees, and bike paths.  I ran past an old park I use to play in and my first elementary school.  There are lots of gently rolling hills that allowed for some climbing and resting on the downhill.  I didn't get out until 2:00 but it was still nice and cool and breezy.  I feel like I'm ready for my race, just have to stay healthy until then.

Nice miles before your race. Hopefully the run helped you de-stress a little. Your taper's got to be coming very soon.

Tear Ree - good luck at the half, Tear Ree em up. Interesting, can we really go home? It always feels different when going back to my old stomping grounds, all the old buddies are gone, the houses are worn down, the side walks are all raised and cracked. Just something about roots.

Hey, keep focused during the race, hope this is a PR race for you
