Karen and I will be participating in the Woody's RV marathon in Red Deer on the May long weekend. We've both registered for the half marathon as part of our full marathon training. We're both pretty comfortable with the 21km distance at this point, but as always, have a bit of the race jitters. We both want to do well at this race, which means getting finished in under 2 hours for us.
We've been helping the Grande Prairie Run/Walk club with their training program for participants of the Press Run at the end of May. This has been good training for us as well since it forces us to keep up with the training. I found it tough at first, since there were a few very fast runners in our group whom I had a tough time keeping up with. After discovering that trying to run faster was counter productive to my distance training, I learned to hang back a bit.
Last weekend We ran about 20km on Saturday and then another 9km on Sunday for the training group. Haven't done much since. It's time to take a bit of a break and rest before the long weekend race. Karen's uncle Claude and aunt Brenda have been nice enough to let us stay with them while we're in Red Deer. They've even offered up a feast of pasta the night before the event. How can you say no to that?
