Splints-B-Gone!

Great workout today! My legs feel great, I did lots of stretching during the workout (3.5 miles, didn't want to overdo it and have the splints come back!) and a good long stretch afterwards. I'm hoping that I can keep the legs in this condition until the race!

You're supposed to taper before a race, but since I had to take a long break so recently I'm just going to hold steady around 5 miles (give or take!) until then. You're also supposed to rest the days before a race, so next Tuesday will be my last workout. After that, it's lots of water, pasta Saturday, and early to bed!

I also want to work out a pace guide for myself. I saw in the running store the coolest thing: they make fake tattoos with a pace guide for different levels! I'm making my own, and just gonna write it on my arm with a Sharpie, just like back in swim team. :) The only other thing I really want to do before the race is to drive the course. I'll definitely map it out on MapMyRun, but I hope to have time to drive it before the race. Maybe this weekend...
