So I'm working late and NOT getting my planned 10-mile run in today...I was hoping to run Heartbreak Hill one more time, in the rain, to simulate the conditions predicted for Monday. Oh well. Stayed dry and was able to blast one last "Hail Mary" pass of an e-mail to many of you.
it's been a VERY interesting 'final' week before the big day. Total miles logged since Sunday = 0
One way or another, I'll get those last few miles in on Friday a.m. and probably Sunday (they say that it's best to rest and not run at all on Saturday and to do a light, loosening jog on Sunday...what they don't say is "why not just take the whole week before the race off!" :-0
So, let's run down the list:
Scary weather: check
Lame preparation: check
Poor sleep: check
Marginally regular and nutritious meals: check
Butterflies in stomach: ironically, not so much
overconfidence (or, perhaps, just good old fashioned optimism): check
...If I set a personal record this year I'll be insufferable!
(p.s. - don't worry, Mom, for the most part, I'd been sleeping, eating, and training right up until the last week)
