J4 and I killed today's run! We ran over to Iwo to meet our running club at a ~9 min/mile clip and then ran 7.5 or so miles around 7:30 min/miles and then an 8:30 min/mile from Iwo home for 10 miles for the day with an overall average of 7:57 min/miles.
Beforehand, I was having a hard time deciding what to do w/ today's run. Specifically, when should my taper start and what should it look like? I'm two weeks out from my 1/2 marathon. I opted for fewer miles and more speed. Also, when I got home I canceled my race entry for tomorrow's 5K. My legs are DONE and as much as I LOVE to and ALWAYS run a new year's day race, I don't need to run a 7th day in a row tomorrow. I need to rest.
J4 and I have a low key New Year's Eve planned w/ some bar hopping in our new neighborhood and some champagne. Kisses all! Dream big in 2012!
I hope you had a nice New Years! We snowshoed into a cabin near Rainier but fortunately were outside of the park so we didn't get evacuated for the crazy gunman.
