I was not really looking forward to Saturday's run by myself. This was one of the few times I felt like I needed a distraction from the distance and wished I had a buddy. But I got it done with about a 10:48 pace which I was happy with.

This Saturday is the 13.1 race! I have been thinking about this race and the White Rock half 6 weeks later. Originally, I was going to try to PR at 13.1 and take White Rock a little easier. However, I am not feeling as prepared for 13.1 as I had hoped so I think I am going to treat this race more like a training run and try to PR at White Rock instead. I think that will be a better plan for me this time.

I am still looking forward to it; the course looks great and I am looking forward to running through downtown and uptown neighborhoods!
