Whew, I’m in the final week before the Miami. I’m always amazed at how far away these things seem when you first start the training and then all of a sudden race week is here.

Overall though I felt I ran pretty consistently pace-wise and I did have a couple of miles with some negative splits but don’t worry, overall I kept up my reign as the queen on the positive split.

I’m now in race week running mode with a bunch of nice and easy three mile runs through out the week with one five miler thrown in just for fun. I need to make sure that I get these runs in as I always run better when I have been running consistently during the week.

I’m still hoping for hitting my PR but the past couple of weeks have been real tough on my running. I’m counting on the nice change of scenery and warm weather to give me a bit of a boost.

Speaking of weather, there is a chance of a light wintery mix on Friday when I’m flying out of here. Not what I want to hear.
