Wow, cant believe its almost time to run 26.2 miles. Excited, nervous all at the same time. Been tapering so Im not running as much. We did a light 8 mile run yesterday. Weather was perfect, hope we get similar weather for next weekend. Think there are 3 easy runs this week. And chocolate cake....there will be some chocolate cake! Or maybe coconut cake, or brownies....or maybe a little of everything. Legs are a little sore but nothing too bad. Ive been told this is them "healing". Really?? Nothing like leg pain to boost your confidence when you are running less for your legs to be more sore! The temptation to run more is there but sticking with the running coaches recommendations has worked so far. So I do exactly what is on the schedule - no more, no less.
Post marathon plan: countdown to brazil! And then plan to keep running when I get back. Dont want to lose the gains Ive made! Might do some light runs in brazil (the second week). Its really a great way to explore a new town. Going to find a race for late winter/early spring. And will definitely do the broad street run. All those people who claim they are running broad street - I will start bugging you!
