This week was interesting. On Saturday I ran a 5K. My whole body hurt the whole time I was running. I was feeling like I was coming down with something, but Sunday morning I woke up and felt ok so I ran 8 miles. I debated on how many miles to run. One week until my first half I knew I needed to taper, but wasn't sure exactly what that meant so I cut it to 8. Monday and Tuesday I felt horrible so each night I just did some yoga. Wednesday I went to power hour and core and more. This has become a Wednesday night ritual. I'm loving these classes and I'm really seeing the differences from it. Thursday I took off and today I'm going to go for a short run. Tomorrow another short run and then Sunday is my half marathon!
A strange week...I guess if I'm going to get sick though what better week to do it than a taper week. I'm sure the
12 for 2012 will help me figure this all out! I'm not happy with all the rest days this week, but the days that I did exercise I went all out so I'm happy with that!
And now for some photos of my week:
Alex's team played an amazing game last Friday night!
I started a list of races that I'm totally in for this year. It will fun to see how long this will get.
a wish list of half marathons.
We're planning Alex's 9th Birthday party! We made some cool goodie bags (soccer themed pencils, water bottle, plastic bracelets, tatoos, and koosh balls)
I am so ready for the weekend!!

That extra rest will pay off for Sunday--it always feels good to run on fresh legs! Your half marathon list is looking good. I loved Philly's half!
Looked like you had an awesome workout week! I think I am coming down with something as well so I'll be working on DVD's instead of hitting the trails! Good luck in your 1/2!!
