Yesterday, for our final long training run, we ran the first five miles of the course... the starting line at the capital building, down San Jacinto, down Guadalupe, over the Congress bridge, and up Congress. The first few miles have a nice downhill that will be great for warming up easy. Then there's a big uphill heading up South Congress past lots of cool shops and restaurants, before we turn around and head back down. My plan is to take it easy for this whole section, not bombing down the hills, not charging up them, but running a steady pace.
In other news!
Looking forward to the coming weekend, it should be chock full of running, puppies, Lone Stars, tacos, and sunshine!!!
I'm getting excited too!! And just a smidge nervous:). I love that pic - you look like you just finished a 5k not a marathon! I, on the other hand, look like a disaster and the loaf of bread doesn't help with that impression:).
