Now the nerves are hitting. I've done everything I can. Train, taper, carbload, I've done it. Now I have to go out there and do something I wasn't sure I could -- run a marathon in less than 3:31. I know I can now, but I haven't done it yet. I have to do it. No excuses. The weather looks good, the course is favorable, no aches and pains, the dress rehearsal went well, the strides went well except for nearly getting tackled by a loose dog on the beach. But I have a deadline: Finish 26.22 miles in less than 211 minutes. Do that, and I'll be back in Boston next April. Fail... is not an option. I will be in Boston on April 19.
Not sure how soon I can get on here to post results or an RR. I'll try to get the time up quickly and do a detailed RR later when I can.
In about 15 hours, I'll know the answer. |
