After finishing Tierra Bella, I wasn’t sure about this race. I hadn’t run very much and certainly hadn’t increased my mileage like I should have. But I was able to get a long run in last weekend — too long, in fact. I basically ran a half-marathon on my own!
At least I am more confident about my ability to do this at a relatively good pace. I don’t know if I’ll get a PR, but I hope to finish faster than last year’s 2:38:50.
Now my stuff is all prepped and ready to go. Pre-race jitters have begun, too, which is a good thing.
