Two Weeks to the AFC
With time ticking down to the AFC half marathon in a couple of Sundays, I did one of my last long runs this weekend. Nine and a half miles from La Jolla, down through Bird Rock, the neighborhoods of PB, to the boardwalk past Crystal Pier and back. It was a good run but my body feels like it hits the wall between miles seven and eight. Which could make the last several miles of the AFC kind of tricky. Should be interesting to see how it goes. From what I've heard, the first five miles are a nice easy downhill trek starting in Cabrillo National Monument, through downtown and then a steady uphill climb for two miles to finish in Balboa Park. I'm already mentally prepping for the last two miles to be pretty tough. Inspirational suggestions would be lovely if you have any...
