Blahhhh!

    Training blahs today. I am not over trained. probably very close though! I only have 6 runs left before I taper! I am in the "sharpening" phase right now. My pace and tempo are good and seem to be increasing. I am as skinny as I've been in probably 3-4 years. Yet today I had to make myself go out the door. Thankfully it was only a 5 miler! Seemed like a breeze! I am really believing, if I'm smart, I can run a quality marathon. What's that mean? Perhaps a negative split, no cramping issues, no bonking. It truly is a matter of not starting too fast. I expect to be really pumped up with energy. The 13 day taper will enable my body to be ready and I expect to be as ready as I've ever been for a marathon. I already have 5 long runs in the bank (16 miles or more) and have two more to go! Well heavy rains have moved in the area, I may be treadmilling tomorrow. Hope all is well with you!
