Did I forget anyone???
After the race most of us will be eating lunch to celebrate Amanda's birthday. It is going to be a blast. But before the fun I have to put in the work. I love the way Marlene posts her race goals so I am going to use her format.
3 Goals for Mercer Island Half:
- A (I hope I can): PR sub- 1:40
- B (I think I can): PR sub-1:43:39
- C (I know I can): 1:53 or Faster
I have heard that the course is HILLY. I plan to drive the course on Saturday. It always helps to get a feel for the course prior to running so I can mentally prepare my pacing and effort. My first Half, The Capital City Half HERE was a rolling hill course. This is the first race of the year. I feel like I am in better shape then any past race. I hope I can kick this sickness so I am at optimal performance by Sunday.
Off to rest!!
HAPPY MONDAY!!

Take care of yourself being sick! Just rest and lay low...you don't want it lingering (trust me!) I'm just now getting over the sick thing.
and DANG 1:40 is speedy fast. You go w/that PR. Good luck!!
I am running Mercer Island too! love your goals-with how speedy your training has been, you will get your sub 1:40 for sure! Rest up, and feel better.
Get some rest and get well soon. You have a race on the horizon!
Good luck, I know you'll rock it! Feel better.
You are going to do awesome! I think that is a great idea to drive it first. Have a great week!
Rest up--you know your work is done so don't push yourself this week. You'll do great from the sounds of your recent runs. Good luck!

Hey, I'll see you out on the course. Hills indeed, but oh well. I just signed up after I ran 11 miles yesterday and figured I can do 13 this weekend.
Sorry you are sick.
Good Luck Sunday!
Feel better and enjoy the time off as an added taper bonus!
First - So jealous you all get to race together.
Second - as long as you've shaken this illness (and probably if you haven't) you'll go sub 1:40!
Third - Rest up and get better!
I hope you feel better soon! Get a lot of rest before this weekend. And I'll be cheering for you to get to goal A!!! :)

Feel better soon. I know you can! Your training has been so great I know you are going to amaze yourself and have loads of buddies with you to share it. You are so blessed! Sending healthy thoughts your way.
Good Luck and have fun. I just finished my first half marathon and it was tough! It was 6.5 miles of uphill where we gained 2000 feet in elevation. But it was a beautiful, warm perfect day and afterwards we had a great lunch with friends and then went swimming in the hot springs.
Feel better I can;t wait to hear how you kicked it on the half!
Oh...I'm sorry you're sick! Rest up this week and you'll be good to go for your race this weekend! Woohoo...you're going to ROCK! :)
Oh no- rest up and feel better so you can rock that race!!! I have a 1/2 on Sunday too, so I'll definitely be sending happy race thoughts you're way!
Rest up and feel better - I love your goals! Sub 1:40 is all yours!
Good luck with the half marathon!
I love the goals! Really inspiring!
Good luck and I hope you feel better in time for the race!
I hope you feel better SOON! Get some rest! And great goals :)
