No wonder I'm worried

I have a half Marathon on Sunday

I hurt my back 1 Feb and haven't done more then a 60min run since

I felt **GREAT** during my training in December and January

I feel **WEAK** now

I've just looked at my running chart... it doesn't read good...

December 82k
January 90k
February 43k

... There's taper .... and then there's taper :o(

I was *hoping* to come in around the 2hour mark...

I did a 1 hr session last sat 10mins easy then 10mins at half pace and repeat*three

... I nearly died.... my HR was HUGE at the end of each 10min session

At the end of Jan I felt strong....

.... now I feel weak......

I'm not going to have a race strategy as such... I may even wear my Garmin.... I just want to finish and hope that in so doing I neither get injured, I would say also hope that it doesn't hurt too much... but who am I trying to kid - it's a race ain't it!!! I would *hope* I can get a PB..... <2:10 I can dream of <2:05....

I consider myself marked down .. "could try harder"

I wonder if my physio appt tomorrow will somehow give me an extra boost?!

Sigh....

I must sleep and stop even thinking about it already....

.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
