Less than one week away to the half marathon

It is very early in the morning on April 12th. That is good and bad. It is 101 miles from IAH airport, so I will have to plan 1.5 hours to get there. It will be in the coolest part of the morning, so that is good. Materials are passed out starting at 5:30. The race starts at 7AM. So I want to leave the house about 4:30AM.

I am feeling healthy enough. I even have a doctor's OK to run. I ran twice this past week without any pain but felt the place in question. I just have to run with caution, so my time will likely not be too good. I will go for a steady pace race. Yesterday, I ran for 5.3 miles and was not stressed much, so my confidence is rising. Tomorrow I will try to go 7 miles. Then, I will fall back to 3 on Wednesday to complete all preparation except for stretching.
