Counting Down to Marathon Day - 6 Days

It is now Marathon Week. Yesterday I did get out for a run. Nothing to hard. I took it nice and easy.

Mostly this week I am thinking of how the marathon will play out. Mark and I have decided to scout the course when we get to Portland so we have an idea what it will be like. Mostly I want to show him where I want to meet him, so there is no question of where he will be on race day.

Some things I am pondering......do I take NUUN for all the race? Some of the race? I will have my Mint Chocolate Gu with me. I keep thinking though I want to keep it light. Maybe Mark can give me my NUUN before I head into the area where spectators aren't allowed?

I am getting my water resistant items, so I can be as "dry" as possible. Of course if it is raining, dry will not be an option. Mark says I shouldn't anticipate trouble, but I want to be prepared for rain. Forecast ranges in the 30%-60% chance of rain.

Feeling good though.
