Marathon week is here! I will try to post as much as I can this week as I gear up for the trip to New York. I'm already having a hard time thinking about much else. After nearly 4 months of preparation the end is in sight.
Ran a total of 14 miles this past week. That's a far cry from what I've been accustomed to, but it's fine. I'm not focusing on running a lot of miles right now. I'm fully trained and need to just try to stay healthy for the next few days. Of course, I'm trying to fight off a cold right now that I picked up over the weekend. It's taken me down a few pegs, but nothing that I can't get through.
For the sake of following me on race day, the ING NYC Marathon website has a lot of info. The site is www.nycmarathon.org. To follow me during the race, visit the Mobile Spectator App TrackMyRunner site. You can either buy an iPhone app ($3 - and from the reviews not worth it) or check a website during the race for free to see how I'm doing. Or you can sign up for $3 and get text messages. Not going to advocate for any of this, but I wanted to get the word out just in case.
Today is Halloween and I've not indulged too much in the sweets. Had a good day, despite nursing the cold. Stopped at a local running store and picked up some new socks and a case of GU.
Here's to kicking this cold, which is #1 priority right now!
Hey Dan - Got you in my thoughts all week. We prayed for you and the Wounded Warriors in church Sunday. I hope the cold is easing up: have you tried using a Neti Pot? It's gross but effective. Will we need your bib # to follow you on Sat? Have a great week!
