Mini-Taper started

Well, Mrs. Team BRAZO and myself are all ready for the Half-marathon coming up on Saturday. Mrs. Team BRAZO did a small run on the treadmill yesterday and will take today and Friday off in order to be fresh for her 1st long race of her running career.

I had a nice slow 4 mile run this morning and I'll take tomorrow off and rest up the legs just a bit. I'm still hoping for the sub 2 hour run, but my confidence is not too great. I'm so much better at those "finish" goals than the time goals. I can trick my mind to make it through a marathon or IronMan, etc -- but I have a much harder time tricking my body to think that it really is athletic and that it is not 43 years old.

My strength has always been my determination, so hopefully I can "determination" my hamstrings into getting me thru 13.1 miles in under 2 hours.

Tomorrow morning Mrs. Team BRAZO and myself will head up to the Cottage and spend some time in the hot tub getting the legs ready to go...
