Can't believe I have less than 3 days until my 3rd half-marathon! This week has flown by! I had my last run today...3 miles and it went fine. However, I did 4 miles on Monday and it was AWFUL! I was so sore from those dang DVDs from Sunday...it was weird...my hips hurt...so Monday was tough. I hate these days leading up to a race because you constantly doubt yourself...even though I ran 12 miles straight last week. But I am excited! Tomorrow I hope to do some kind of workout but not sure what yet. I am trying to figure out my food situation for race morning since I won't have access to heat anything and since the race starts at 6:30...can't get anything anywhere. Might just do old standby of Peanut Butter/Bread/half banana?? And the weather...it is looking amazing for Saturday...high in the 60s and lows in the 40s with lots of sunshine...perfect!! I also had my water stop strategy with Meredyth today so feeling ready! :) (Meredyth is going to Ireland next week....how fun is that!) And yes...I am still contemplating the marathon situation for the Spring...decided to see how this race goes and then figure it out....
Yes, that is a super cute pic of Simon Baker as I had this vivid dream last night where he and I were working on a FBI case together...I think I watch too much TV...especially crime dramas! But isn't he cute? Definitely one of my celebrity boyfriends!
So one of my classes, the one last night, one of our assignments is to read a book that relates to our subject (mine is math) and would be a book appropriate for our age group that we would be teaching (I'm middle school.) So I am going to read the above book...has anyone read it before? Or should I read something else? I have two weeks to read the book so I need to get one this week. (And yes the teacher just told us last night....)
I put some random books I had on ebay. It is the first time I have tried to sell anything on ebay before (I have bought stuff before.) If you want to check any of them out...my ebay name is "charlottelillypad"
Tomorrow I will pick Norah up from school early so we can go to a neighbor's 2nd birthday party! It is birthday party time around here...Norah has 4 parties in February and we got an invitation today for a party in March...Whew...that is a lot of presents and cake!Well I gave the dogs a bath tonight and I hoped to get a picture but they will not stay still! But trust me they are super cute as always! Well I am about to knock out some school work as I want to have everything done for the week before I leave. I also start to tutor a student tomorrow so I have to make sure that I have everything ready for that.

Yay for your 3rd half marathon!! I'm sure you will do great. I definitely always doubt myself going into a race, especially if it's been a while since I've raced.
As for unheated foods -- I usually chow down a Clif bar before I race. It's about all I can stomach on a nervous belly and it's like eating a big cookie.
Good luck on Sunday!!
I think that before my October half I had nature valley granola bars. Maybe some pb on a bun? I can't wait until March!
