Baltimore half-marathon #6

In less than two weeks, I’ll be heading to Baltimore to run in my 6th Baltimore half-marathon. It is hard to believe. This year is special as the race is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The finishing medal is also heavier. I’m looking forward to the race as training as been going well. Two weeks ago, I did my longest run which was 13.1 mile, the half-marathon distance, and my legs felt good. There was a local half-marathon race in Ottawa that weekend and so I registered at the last minute as friends were doing it. The race carried a bit of a risk and I did wanted to race so hard as to burn my legs out for the Baltimore race. The approach I took was to run very hard when needed and to back off at other points, it was a bit of a balancing act. In two weeks, we’ll see if I got the balance right.
