    Ack! Being in Hawaii, I totally forgot to log my miles from last week, but I did have 17 running miles and 10 walking miles, as I have been walking everywhere while here!

    As for this week:

    9/2 6 miles running, 2 miles walking = 8 total
    9/3 1 mile walking = 9 total

    Not sure how much I will get as now I have a nasty cold. :(

    9/4 1 mile walking =10 total
    9/5 1 mile walking =11 total
    9/6 1 mile running 3 miles walking =15 total

    I am done for the week. Thought I felt better, and 10 minutes into my run, bonk! A flight back to the mainland, rest on Sat, and hopefully all better for Sunday!

    Keep running, walking and crawling! :)

    Sunday: I was out of town this weekend...went on a 7 mile round trip hike to the top of Harney's Peak, South Dakota, with my friend that I was visiting.

    Monday: was in the car most of the day driving home...
    Tuesday: slept all day. much needed rest. skipped outdoor bootcamp class.
    Wednesday: 1.7 mile walk at lunch with coworker, ~3.5 miles of speedwork with warmup and cool down at Wednesday night running group
    Thursday: indoor boot camp class tonight after work...we do a lot of body weight resistance stuff but not really any "distance" that I can log

    Thanks - yes I am tapering. May go for a walk tomorrow, but trying to save my legs. Cutting out my kettlebell workouts this week too - because those can get me really sore!

    The HM was tougher than I thought. I ended up slower than my training pace for some reason - had some side stitches, and had to take 2 pit stops!!! But I did it, and now I feel pretty good! On to my next one in 3 weeks.

    I ate 500 cals above maintenance the day before - lots of pasta, bread, etc. I also drank 12 glasses of water the day before. I ate one of my energy chews that I make during the race (nuts, dates, milk powder, chia seeds, cocoa), and drank at most water stops - water or powerade.

    It was in the low 70's, but 85% humidity, so I am sure that contributed to the side stitches. I almost cried when I finished - it was such an emotional release.

    i can't even imagine! !!i hope to be able to do that some day. you've been training well and putting the miles in -- sounds like you were as prepared as you could be for this, and i'm sure you'll do even better on your next one. congrats again.
