One week to go

one more week until the Get Lucky Half Marathon (21k for Saint Patrick's day!) and half marathon number ten for me! This will be the second time I attempt this course. My very best run was on this course last year (2015) with a time of 1:52. I was in peak training. I certainly don't think I will come close to that this year. I will be using this course simply to see where I'm at and to just truely take everything in as this will be my last half marathon in MN. I may have to sneak a few smaller races in before the half down in Arizona in October. I started having knee issues on my left knee. IT band again. I wore my brace and plan on wearing them again this weekend to prevent any oncoming knee issues. Also! I am switching back into a previous shoe because the Ravenna 6 I have now haven't really been too satisfied with since I purchased them. I should have known better and just returned them when I got them but I thought oh they are new give them a few miles to break them in. I haven't been happy with them at all. Rather than risk another injury for the half I am switching back to my Ravenna 5s. I wore these last year on the very same course  and still have my chip on them maybe it will bring me a bit of luck;)
