You can follow my previous weeks training and current DVD rotation on my Workouts page.

Monday: 2.51 Miles
Tuesday: Total Body Circuit Training with Jackie Warner 40 Minutes Full Body
Wednesday: Elliptical 30 Minutes
Thursday: 2.56 Miles
Friday: Rest
Saturday:Last speed session of training plan. 6 x 800 repeats total of 5.27 Miles.
Thoughts:
Doing the Jackie Warner DVD proved how much more frequently I need to do more strength workouts. This DVD had gotten a bit easier but I am finding it challenging again. My training is winding down and as I write this I have nine days until my first Half. I am excited, scared, and happy all at the same time. It is interesting when something you have worked so hard for and planned for so long, starts to become so real.
Goals:
1. On Sunday, 11/13, I am running my last long training run in the Florida Hospital Celebration Health Founder’s Day 10K. I am looking forward to this race because Celebration is one of my favorite places.
2. Relax and not stress about the upcoming Half. It is going to be fun and I know I will finish.
3. Sleep, eat, and stay hydrated all week.

How do you stay relaxed the last week before a big race?
Good luck racing!!

I thought about running this race but now that I can’t run for 2 weeks (Dr’s orders) it’s out of the question. Let me know if it’s a good race though, I want to run it next year. Have fun out there!

At least it’s only two weeks, not to bad in the scheme of things. I do wish you were able to run this race, always better to have someone to hang with before the race.

I’ve got a race in just about 3 weeks and I’m already stressing until about the details. Good luck. You’ll do great!

Good luck on the half. You will do fine. We all get a little nervous beforehand. I NEVER feel ready, but once you are there with the crowd, all your fears will go away!

I don’t know how to relax. I’m trying to get all caught up on work stuff so I don’t have anything hanging over my head the weekend of the race. Ugh! I know I’ll be stressing over how training went and worrying about my outfit all week!
I really need to get some decent running clothes but I find the items that I’m drawn to are much too pricey.
I hate weeks when work stress starts seeping into the rest of your life. I hope you get everything done!

My biggest problem with pre-race jitters is sleeping the night before the race. A nice cup of camomile tea helps… Good luck in the race!

I hope it’s not too hard to sleep but I am sleeping at my Mom’s because she lives a lot closer. I hope sleeping somewhere else plus the nerves doesn’t effect my sleep negatively. It probably will though.

I still haven’t figured out the key to relaxing very much the week before a race. It seems like as soon as my foot crosses the starting line and I start my Garmin I relax
Good luck on Sun and enjoy the experience!
