I can't front, I've been nervous. I've been anxious. I've been ready for weeks. But with set backs that include a hurt leg, a massage to fix that hurt leg that made it better but still kept it, I've been a little nervous.
I did run that weekend in DC. My cousin found me a 5 mile route that unfortunately meant a 2 mile return up hill so I definitely did not finish it running as fast as expected. The leg felt better, it was cool, even though I still had to stop and stretch.
The Monday I'd been traveling so I didn't jog--(2 flights in 2 days meant I was already off hilt. Blood pressure decreases or something when u fly so it means you should break before jus running wild miles) but the Wednes after we ran up on the reservoir on a tempo which felt good...
The knot was still there though. Less so, but still there. I'm still stretching it out.
This past weekend I was back out of town and while I brought my run gear I didn't take the 5 mile trek, thinking I might get it in during the Sunday back. It didn't happen.
Monday, however, did the Prospect park loop for a birthday head clear. I didn't really have plans set for the eve but I figured I might as well get the run out the way so I could do whatever the evening of. (Yes, debauchery ensued- sometimes the best eves come with lack of plan)...
So... Today's the last day. Supposedly there's a post marathon run planned to help stretch us out. I didn't do any of that back in 08 so it could be good for me.
The expo opens tomorrow so I'll get my race number, and some cool marathon gear to prep for race.
I'm still anxious, but I'm ready...
...And I need to get cheer squads in order!
See yall across the Finish!
