This will put us to the week before our race.  I will make a post that last week with last minute instructions and thoughts.  Remember that the last week is a taper down week for us.  Don't plan to do too much running or exercising that week.  

TRAINER TIP OF THE WEEK:

Take your time!  Enjoy these last two big runs!  Let your body settle into your natural rhythm and give yourself permission to relax and enjoy it!  Yes...it is a lot of hard work, but you will feel a lot better at the end of your run if you can settle into your own natural pace and rhythm!  Running can be therapeutic...try to find that side of it!!

Last call for anyone who want visors.  I am sending the order in on Wednesday.  Let me know if you would like one!
