Scheduled: 15-30 mins
Total 2.5 miles (11 min/mile - 27.5 mins)
This also included a min in a half walk at the beginning. Last run before the big day. It was cold and raining outside so I went to the gym but it was a good run. I feel good and ready for this. I cannot believe it is only a few days away. Hopefully I will get some rest in the next few days.

Day 92
Scheduled: Stretch
I got to do an hour of yoga today. I am not very good at yoga but I was trying. Hopefully now that I have more time, I will be able to get better at it. It felt good to stretch and just relax. It is a great way to start the morning.

Day 91
Scheduled: 15-30 mins
Total 2.1 miles (10.48 min/mile - 22 mins)
My last run outside before race day. We are going to have bad weather the next few days. Thank goodness it is suppose to be nice on Saturday. It was windy yesterday but that was good because I kept running through it anyway, good practice before the big day! My run felt really good. I was having problems with my calves again but I was pushing yesterday. It gave me a lot of confidence. The first few miles are the hardest for me so I know that once I get through that and keep going, I will be doing really well. I am so excited for Saturday. I am looking forward to crossing the finish line.

Day 90
Scheduled: 4-5 miles
Total 4.88 miles (11.27 min/mile - 55 mins)
My last real run before the race. I started out really slow and was having a hard time. My calves were killing me and I was getting frustrated because I just did not want to keep going. Once I got past the 1.5 mile mark though I did not have to stop again! It just takes me time to get in my groove but once I am there it feels good. I hope since I start going down hill, I can make it into my groove a little earlier. I was still happy with the run and how fast I was able to do it! One week, I cann't believe it is almost here.

Day 89
Scheduled: 30-45 min XT
30 min Jilian Michael kickboxing
It was a good workout. I miss doing other stuff and I always feel better after Jilian gets done pushing and yelling at me! It was a great start to my very long day. I had to work both jobs so I needed the energy at the begining.

Day 88
Scheduled: 30-45
Total: 3.00 miles (11.17 min/mile - 33.5 mins)
My goal this morning was to run 3 miles. I really wanted to do it in 33 minutes but I guess 30 more seconds is not too bad. Of course I was running at 6.5 speed the last bit to make it happen. It was good to do that though because I feel like it is good to know that I can push myself to go faster even if it is only for a few minutes ever so often. I might need to get a watch to help me with that motivation while running. I felt good today. My knee is not 100% but it seems to be getting closer. Another good run - helping with my confidence to be able to do this!

Day 87
Scheduled: 30-45 min
Dance Jam 60 mins
Another fabulous class! I cannot do this class because of my training next week and I am going to miss it. It is okay though because I really want to stick with the schedule next week since it is the week of the race and I am getting nervous. I want to be as prepared as possible. Again, I left feeling fabulous and ready to take on the world. :-)
