I can't believe Duke City is almost here. It's time to evaluate my goals for the race. After an Injured Runner DNF at Chips-n-Salsa, I can honestly say that my main goal is to be a Happy Finisher. If my knee holds up for 13.1 miles and nothing else goes wrong, I will consider it a resounding success.
Having said that, there will be bonus points added to my happy meter for various finish scenarios, but it's only bonus points.
Inner Rabbit Bonus: Finish with anything under 2:21:36 for a half marathon PR.
Second Chance Bonus: Achieve the goal I set last time and finish under 2:30.
Bunny Chaser Bonus: Anything under 2:36:58 for a course PR
Just five days and counting...
ReplyDeleteI'll pray that your knee holds up and the day goes well.
Good luck!
Good luck, Lisa!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have fun and in the process some of your "inner bunnies" can be happy, too :-)
