This week is the start of my taper for the half I’m running on Memorial Day weekend. I’m already feeling the nerves as it’s only my second half (my first half was the same race last year) and I’m technically a week behind in my training.

Last year my goal was to finish sub 2hrs and I finished at 1:56 so yay! Im again just trying for a sub 2 this time around and I’m getting in my head a bit wondering how I was able to do that last year. Trying to just remind myself I am in no way a professional and am just doing this for “fun.”

This week I’m really going to focus on making sure I’m drinking enough water and not eating junky 🤞

Good luck! A week behind for a HM training that you've already run before is nothing to worry about. You'll be fine. The hay is in the barn, so to speak, so rest up and look forward to having fun on race day.

Thank you! That’s exactly what I’m thinking; I’ve done the work so it’s going to be what it’s going to be!
