Tonight I am finalizing my preparations for the St. Luke's Half-Marathon in Allentown, PA. I'm checked into the hotel and just finished a pasta dinner, clothes are laid out, and alarm is set…. I am ready to go!
I was encouraged with my easy run this morning. It was exactly that – slow and easy. My right hamstring was still sore and it took me awhile to loosen up but I managed to run 4.5 miles on the treadmill. And, as the day progressed, I continued to feel better. Aside from my run this morning, I did not do anything strenuous. Yes, there is still plenty of yard work that needs to be done, but I wanted to have more of a restful and relaxing day. So, I'll be giving tomorrow's race tomorrow my best shot.
Temperatures are supposed to drop to 36 degrees through the night so it will be a bit chilly in the morning. The forecast is calling for race time (8:10AM) temperatures to be in the mid to upper 40's.
It is Half Marathon time again – Yeah!
