Three runs this week: 3.6 mi run @8:26/mi, 5.5 mi run @9:05/mi, and the weekend's 13.1 mi run @9:48/mi. Plus three days of elliptical/Lifecycle and a day of light weights. Technically the long run was supposed to be 12 mi, but I was going at a nice comfortable pace, it felt good, and so tossed in an extra loop to round it up to half marathon length.  DID I ACTUALLY SAY THAT? I ran a half marathon distance and it was FUN?    Actually my favorite was the short 3.6 mi one - it felt good to be going faster - this one was at about my 10K race pace - typical tempo run I use for 5K training. But for the next 2 weeks I'd better knock off the 5K fun and games here, this is taper time after all.

Checked race website for assorted parking/expo/race day updates, and registered for prepaid "guaranteed" parking - in the Civic Center lot, which is about a mile from the start line. Easier to get into than the Convention Center lots, although the mile-long walk back to my car after the race will probably be an experience - (haha)
