Weekly Workouts – August 19-25

FOUR.MORE.DAYS!!!

I am so excited about leavin’ on a jet plane and heading to California to party with friends, both old and new, during the Disneyland half marathon weekend!!

I’ve been tapering, so this week’s workouts were pretty light…maybe even too light…. :

Monday – rest
Tuesday – stretch and foam roll
Wednesday – took Guinness for a 1 mile walk
Thursday – rest
Friday – walked 1.36 with the family
Saturday – rest (watched the hubby play in a paintball tournament
Sunday – stretched and foam rolled

I’ll probably get in more stretching, foam rolling, and possibly a short run or walk in this week along with packing and triple checking that I have everything I need.  I leave Thursday after work to head to the airport!

Today I’m featured over on Just Me and My Running Shoes, so be sure to go over and check out this awesome blog that my fellow Dumbo runner, Karen, writes (make sure to follow her, too!)

How did your weekly workouts go?  What do you do to taper for a race?

Until next time,

  3. I've been trying to stretch a lot during this last week before Dumbo. I'm not so great with the tapering, I feel like I'm losing too much momentum. :) Hope to meet you at DL! :)
