It’s official friends. I am two rest days away from my next half. Friday and Saturday are going to be filled with rest and healthy foods.
Want to know why I’m a little nervous for this half? My training has been going superb! I know that should give me all the confidence in the world, and it does usually, but sometimes those bits of nervousness creep in. I just don’t want to let myself down! I need to remind myself that this half has 19 hills and to just do the best I can!
My last week of training has looked like this:
Sunday — 8 miles / 1:12:36 / 9:04 pace
Monday — strength / stretch
Tuesday — 4 miles / 37:02 / 9:14 pace — gorgeous outside and I could have kept going and going!
Wednesday — cross training: 3.5 mile walk
Thursday — 2 miles / 20:34 / 10:17 pace — slight left achilles pain, weird?
This half is going to be different than my first, as John is my sole cheerleader! It think it’ll be pretty special though 
Love you babe!
Are you training for something? How were your workouts this past week?
So excited for you!!! You’re going to do awesome!
Thank you Kali!!
yay! Go Katie and John! It makes SUCH a different having someone there with you doing the race! Yay Team Heddleston!
Well he’s not actually running it with me but he’s cheering for me the whole time! And based on what he did during my first half, I’m sure he’ll jog next to me for a minute or two each time he’s sees me (so sweet!) Plus the races I’ve done are small so that is not frowned upon. Thanks for all the support Brittany!
Yay Katie! So excited for you. Can’t wait to hear your recap later. You may only have one cheerleader in person but I can guarantee you have a WHOLE lot more! I’m rooting you on for sure!
Thank you Nichole, that is so sweet!!
you’re going to rock this half!

Good Luck! It can’t be as hard as the Hartville race. You’ll do great!
Thanks Jess! I fear it might be harder than Hartville — but I guess come Sunday afternoon I’ll have a good comparison!!
Wow, that went fast. Believe in yourself and your body will do the rest! Good luck!!
