I ran my last run today!! The next running I do will be the marathon!! It's so hard to believe it is so close!
I am excited but nervous! I am becoming a mess of nerves and anxiety!
As of right now the forecast for Saturday is sunny, high temp 80, low 59. I hope the marathon hours stay in the 60s. As soon as I am done it can jump to 80; that will be fine with me!!!
I ran 5.5 miles this morning at an easy pace. I ran at 10 am and it was warmer than I realized. I don't know how warm it was but I was really surprised.
I don't know why I figured this out but the time between my last run and the start of the marathon will be 68 hours which is something like 2 3/4 days of rest. (11am Wednesday through 7am Saturday) This is the kind of stuff going through my mind while running this morning. I tried to think about the paper I have to start for my English class but couldn't do it, the other thoughts kept creeping into my brain. I think I decided what I am going to wear. I forgot to call the hotel to see if my room will have a microwave; I really need to do that. I have to plan what I am going to eat the morning of the race. I also think that I decided that it is going to be vanilla Gu every 5 miles. yippie. I need to pack too.
I have to work a few hours tomorrow afternoon. I hope to begin packing tomorrow morning. I am not going to running group tomorrow night. I will really miss it. I do have to stop and get the Gu packets. Maybe I will do the warm up stretching with them. It all depends on when I get out of work.
Well, I guess it's time for bed. I hope I can sleep!
