Almost there

It's time to taper now. It feels like we have been training for this half marathon forever. Just like last time, I haven't been able to do the entire program. The long runs really tire me out. After the 18km lsd I felt really good, but sore. I was still sore for the speed workout, and knew that I shouldn't do it but in a clinic you get caught up in the group. It's hard not to feel like you're not keeping up when everyone else ran 18km on Sunday and is doing speedwork. I've been around long enough to understand that running is personal, but you still compare yourself to others.

Tuesday Feb 14: speedwork finished 5x400m(avge 2:12)
Wednesday Feb 15: weight training for about 30 mins
Saturday Feb 18: was supposed to 20km, but we cut it at 15km because of time and I wasn't feeling very well. Good pace though avge 8:01/km (race pace!!)
Tuesday Feb 21: speedwork finished 6x400m (avge 2:18)

I've got a cold and am just trying to get rid of it, so I'm taking it easy this week. 11 days to race day.
