After a day of rest, I went for a 6-mile run at a recovery pace in the morning. I felt good and put in sets of strides, high-knees, bounding, and skipping in the run and finished in 50 min. My stride felt natural and I was able to run effortlessly. Although, back of my right knee, right ankle, and right plantar bothered me a bit in the beginning.

This is the tapering week and the final week before the half marathon, but I had already cut back on my mileage last week due to stomach issues.

On the other hand, I’ve just received the offer letter yesterday from the company I had interview with last week. I sent them back the letter today and talked to my boss about my resignation. I will be starting a new job on Nov. 26 at Capcom. I’m glad the job issues are finally off my shoulder.

My bib number for Big Sur Half is 444. Number 4 is an unlucky number in Chinese and Japanese culture, because it sounds like the word “death,” but I’m hoping to turn it around by spreading good vibes. If you happen to see me in the race, don’t forget to smile and say hi!

I’m shooting for under 1hour 23 min. I’m planning to start out slow and pick up the pace in the last 6 miles. If anyone is running around my time, you’re more than welcome to join my pack. So far, I’m the only one We’ll trade off the lead, trade our GUs and splash ourselves with water and Gatorade! The slowest one gets to write the race report!
