Kevin’s advice to me yesterday —> act like a pregnant woman.

We’re both assuming that means to take it easy and rest for the next week – the last week before our first marathons.  Then again, I’ve been at Michelle’s side for three pregnancies.  This advice could mean:

  • eat everything in sight
  • toss and turn all night long when I should be sleeping
  • get emotional for no particular reason
  • complain about every ache and pain
  • look forward to the “big day” with alternating fear and excitement

For today, instead of running I’ll spend the day nesting – cleaning out the basement and picking up the yard.  Tomorrow, I’m meeting Rick for a 10-mile run through Osterville … then the real countdown starts (one week from tomorrow!!!)
