It feels so good to be inside of the last week.
I woke up this morning knowing that this is it – years of running, months of training and weeks of anxiety are finally coming together this weekend. I can’t wait for Sunday.
The feeling that I have right now is exactly like the one I have on an out and back run. As soon as I hit the turnaround, the rest of the run becomes effortless. I know that each step is bringing me closer to my goal. This week, I know that each day is the last one before Sunday. After today, there will be no more Mondays. The next Monday on the calendar is officially the day after my first marathon. That is a great feeling.

Dave,
I read your comment on my latest entry (about Louisville). Thanks and yes, feel free to use anything to help. I have read a few of your posts here and I am convinced you not just someone who runs, but you are a runner. Yes… you CAN do it.
Don’t think of the distance… how many miles done…how many miles to go. Enjoy the day and the event and the people. be part of that “1 percent” that has actually done a marathon.
Good luck and have fun next week.
