3 days to half marathon, exited!

Three days before the Royal Parks Half Marathon. Website says 14,000 people going to show up. Dont care abut the position but really care about the time. If i make it under 1:15 be happy as Larry. Would be awesome, great, unbelievable, cool, glad, da da da............. Anyways so hopefully everyone who is going to the race gone on to the sloth mode or the correct term tapper. Weeeeell cannot talk for other people.

Even though it is the relax time still need to keep those legs occupied. Why, you may ask. Firstly don't want to show up with stiff pair of legs. Especially with this course, think the first few miles is downhill. So imagine 14,000 going for it. It would be like bats out hell. Guess it is very important to be ready for a fast start. Sure pre race warm up is good, but the momentum that is building has to keep going.

Last week three 10 mile runs and three 7 mile runs. Still scared to do the whole 13 after a hamstring incident. So This week 3 seven mile runs upto yesterday. Little bit cross training. Today take it eazy. Sorry to write personal mileage, injury and me me me stories. But this is my diary and i think i am writing to a friend.:-)

Anyways so tomorrow 5km run, slow pace, Saturday may be 2kms and few sprints in the evening and a small walk.

Stretching, stretching, stretching, streeeeeeeeeeeetching how many times do i have to tell.

I've read pros go on carbo loading this week. Sounds good. But how much is loading... the thing is with loading comes too much food consumption and then dont want additional surprises on the race day by being having too much food in the system. So better not to eat much on the race eve an well as on the race day. Have lot of fruits stars with the letter "A" like Apples, Apricots, Avocados, Bananas..........

So keep the energy stores high, fatigue down, stretch, keep it cool and i think i can think i can attitude may lead to have a nice enjoyable race.

have to get back to work. See when you work on IT sometimes have to work on cloud technology. So i am going back to the clouds.
