Tomorrow morning is my last long run of this marathon training gig. It will be my second 20. Our plan was to do 3 20's but with injuries etc...I think that 2 is my limit. I am nervous for some reason. It seems silly. I had a great 20 miler last week. I was definitely slow in the end, but heck it was a Wednesday morning. I have definitely put a lot of miles on this body training. I have spent part of the year injured and even a little unmotivated at points. The summer was tough for me. Training with the kiddos at home was hard. The heat was well...HOT this summer and there were times where I didn't want to be held to a training plan. The flip side....I love running. I love running with my friends and without and I am so EXCITED to run Chicago.
We have our tickets. We are staying with my friend Gail's brother. He has a 4 bedroom condo 6 miles from the start. I have been thinking about my outfit. (lulu skirt or running skirt). I am running in my Saucony's and well...I guess that is it.
So for now I am going to take in the taper....because you know what is coming after Chicago? I will give you a hint.....The Friendliest Marathon....
I don't know how you do it! Good luck!! (is it bad that I'm most interested in what you're wearing?? :) xoxo
