Going with the flow.

Hey lovelies. It's been a stressful past few days and because of that I haven't had time to really do my last couple tapering runs of 20 minutes. The last run I did was on Tuesday. 2 miles.  Was supposed to do 20 mins on Wednesday and today as well. I'll be traveling back to Orlando today so not sure if I'll get those 20 mins in or not.  Sounds so easy to squeeze in but I'm so tired.  Can't really sleep like I would like too. But tonight I will get a full nights rest as well as tomorrow.  I'm not going to worry myself that I didn't get to taper run because I know that I trained and already ran 13.1 only 2 weeks again and I know that I can do it again.  I may not push myself as hard this run but regardless I will enjoy it and go with the flow. I've heard great things about these Women's Running series races and expect it to be awesome.  Speaking of races, today is the last day to register for the Nike Women's Half Marathon in DC on April 27th (or 24th eh). This is the race that everyone calls the "Tiffany" race because this series is known to give out Tiffany necklaces at the end as the finishers medal.  So I'm still debating.  It's highly pricey so I have until 6pm to decide.  What do you think? 

2 half marathons within 2 weeks.

Call me crazy.

HEY CRAZY!

I've probably mentioned it before but yes I am running my 2nd half marathon in a week. Which means that I am running 2 half marathons within 2 weeks. A little cuckoo some might say while others may say it's genius. Training once but getting two 13.1's out of it. 

I will admit, I'm a little nervous but I've already decided I'm not going to focus on anything specific. 

I'm not going in trying to beat my current PR.

I just want to enjoy the race and be injury free.

This race is the Women's Running Half - St. Pete.

I'm really excited because I have heard such great things about this race and I LOVE the fact that it's geared towards women!

So how have I been recovering and training for this next race you might ask?

Week 1 - Post Race.

Sunday: Allstate Half Marathon + lots of stretching

Monday: 15 - 20 minute relaxed walk + more stretching

Tuesday: Complete rest

Wednesday: 2 mile easy run

Thursday: 15 minute weight training

Friday: 4 mile run - kind of easy

Saturday: Rest (was suppose to cross train but um yeah...)

Sunday: 5 - 6 mile run (about to head out soon!) 

Week 2 - Post Race / Pre 2nd Half 

Monday: Rest + foam rolling

Tuesday: 2 - 3 miles

Wednesday: 20 mins of running + 15 min weights

Thursday: Rest 

Friday: 20 minutes running

Saturday: Walk around the expo

Sunday: RACE DAY!

So I'm basically just tapering all over again.

Hopefully everything works out and I have another good race!

Have you ever run 2 half's or marathon within such short timespans?!

How was your experience?
