[29/07] Taper week is now over and I am ready to race. Or at least as ready as I’m going to be. I feel as though I didn’t do much this week. I only ran twice but I that’s because I wanted to take two full days off before the race. My primary goal is to finish the 8 km in under 45 minutes. I think that’s attainable, it’s 9 minute miles. I’m also going to focus on having a good warm-up and making sure that my hamstring is ready to go at the start. Really I just want to have fun and push myself. The pushing myself part may mean the last mile or two aren’t so fun but that’s OK too!
