Training Log – Zooma Annapolis Half Marathon (Week 6)

This is my training log for the Zooma Annapolis Half Marathon. (You can read my training log for week one here, week two here, week three here, week four here, and week five here.)

I can’t believe this is my last week of training before my taper week! I know I am ready. All I have to do is keep up my conditioning, not get injured and hope for a cool, cloudy morning!

Less than one week after the Zooma Half, I am running the Lawyer’s Have Heart 10K. For the first time, and in honor of my Dad, I am fundraising for the American Heart Association, so please visit my donation page.
