My cousin Polly who ran her first half marathon earlier this year with me, set a new PR this last weekend in her second half marathon. She ran 2:07. Way to go Polly!!!
So now we are 10 days until the marathon. I feel good about my Yassos from last night. I am going to head out for a little bit of a run this afternoon if the weather cooperates. All in all I feel good.
My fellow marathoners agree it is time to bring on the race. We are ready and raring to go on Oct. 7. One guy told me yesterday he is tired of training. I hear that, but it still needs to be done. Another runner told me he won't run until the race and eat whatever he wants. Note to self...stay clear of the puking man during the race.
Scott has asked us to figure what to wear on race day. I am waiting to see what the weather reports will be before I decide. I know I won't load down with a belt like I did in Phoenix. I didn't like that. I will depend on the water stations and my support crew. I do have my gel figured out - Gu's Chocolate Outrage. If I have to have something, it might as well taste like chocolate.
I have been looking over the course map again and again. I want to know what to expect. The marathon website has a video tour. That helps as well.
So 10 days to go...and all is well.
Charlie
