But I'd probably take the other approach, do the tri at a real "fun" pace. Not pushing it but enjoying the race/exercise.

I think "harder to sit out" is what happened to our taper last week. Hmmm. Looking at Last Year's MPLS Half Marthon results and, to my surprise, discovered I was first in my age group. Who knew?? Thanks for your encouragement.

See how you feel and make the decision then. I am going to follow your lead and add walking to my runs to add distrance - good idea! I think it is harder to sit out than to race.

It was my first attempt to shake the legs out after Grandma's half and I ended up walking for about seven minutes of my six mile run:( I just didn't have it in me. Good luck with your future NY Marathon training:) Hi Beth,

You know what you can and can't do, so if you think you should sit it out then do so. We all have to keep our goals at hand and go get them the way we want.

Glad you are getting back into the regular training. NYC is so exciting, it will be fun to follow your journey there. :) Sounds like a smart idea, but I know the temptation to race is strong!

I joke with my son once I want to enter a race and take it so easy I am assured last place... Thought that was the case at Grandma's but I still have about 100 people behind me. Take care and stay healthy! You are wise… but, there is nothing wrong with doing an even as training?
