It’s 12 days until the big pig day. I really wish that it was tomorrow. I am so pumped for this event to be here and see if my hard work comes to anything. I had a great run this weekend. I love to run downtown over the bridges into Kentucky. It’s a very relaxing run. I did 5 miles before the group got there, and then we did 12 miles over the first part of the pig course. Not sure that I am a huge fan of the change, but I am very happy that the course now goes right through downtown. In the past the course would avoid the central business district and get us out of downtown as quickly as possible. But with all the changes to downtown over the past 2 years they had to. Now if they would only run by Fountain Square.
I do have to say that my 12 mile section was awesome! Around mile 9 I ran a 6:30 mile which for me is so amazing, especially 9 miles in (which was 14 miles in since I did 5 before hand). And then I sprinted to the end. If you are unaware of the half marathon course, the last 2-3 miles are totally downhill, and this was the course we ran this Saturday. Someday I will run this course, maybe when I’m 80, just to experience it.
