Two More Weeks

Well, it would seem that plans have changed. With all the rain lately here in the south, there has been severe flooding. And due to this flooding, the half marathon that I was running today has been postponed until June 13th. This actually sets up a interesting situation. I will now be running two long distance races within a week of each other. I will have the half marathon on June 13th and a full marathon on June 20th. Keep in mind that both these races are on trails, which is a first for me. On the bright side I have two more weeks to run on the trails around my area to help me prepare for the race. But this news also came almost last minute, thus making my taper week obsolete. But on the bright side, I got a nice long run in this morning and was able to take advantage of my body being at 100% strength. Also, this gives me the chance to do trial half marathon on the trails to give myself an idea on how well I should do at Hell's Hills. I am not intimidated with these two races being so close together. I have done something similar before. I ran a half marathon in early February of this year and then a week later I ran the Rouge-Orleans which had me running a total of 24 miles. I am really excited and now the anticipation is only getting worse. But these two weeks will fly by before I know it and it will be time to conquer the hills!
