Running The Race

This is the final week before the Rocket City Marathon. It is a week filled with expectation and paranoia. I am excited about the race and ready for Saturday to get here. Running shorter distances this week does not help pass the time. After working for 17 weeks to get to this place, I seem to be paranoid about everything…what I eat, this ache or that pain. I guess getting sick the Wednesday before my Spring marathon doesn’t help quiet my fears.

It was cold today. The morning low was 17 and it didn’t get out of the 30′s all day. Ran 5 miles around sunset so the temperature was dropping again.

I really enjoy running in the cold. The hardest part is getting out the door but once I get going, I really enjoy it.
