...Or at least a small section of it. I've been so focused on my end goal of the Edge to Edge Marathon that I've thought very little of this coming Sunday's run in Van city. I was feeling fine about this until I went for a run a few hours ago and it was awful. My legs felt like I had rocks in them and there was this wind whipping up around me. I felt forty pounds heavier than I am and started to curse the water bottle on my hip (I'm sure it doesn't weigh that much).
Okay to be fair, I did bike to and from work today. On top of that, on my way home I took a "short cut" that turned into a very long detour on a bike path that meandered all over. It was lovely, but by the time I got home I was a little tired to say the least. I did manage to bike up the hill telling myself that I could knock off a hill training session with the hills I climbed today on my bike.
I guess I just fear that the race will start and I'll feel sluggish and will never feel otherwise. Not likely right?
I'll find out in 36 hours.

Just rest up tomorrow and I'm sure you'll be fine for Sunday. I'm not surprised you had a bad run after all that biking! That's like weightlifting twice in the same day - not enough rest for those muscles and thus quick burn-out.
Just a reminder...the half is something you've done a few times before and have enjoyed it. No pressure...listen to your coach...have fun. Good luck tomorrow I'll be thinking about you. m/d
It's Sunday morning. Hope it's going well!
And I can attest to the fact that you ran brilliantly today! Easy peasy, great form and gait- on track for Tofino! Yay!
