Well that was the last Saturday run of training!! Met everyone at Panera at 7:00 and we did the last run.. 8 miles. Funny how 8 doesn't seem so long any more!! Patti., Kathy and Kathy were scheduled for 6 for their last Saturday run so I put an extra 2 in after we got back to Panera.
Meeting at 7:00 was great because we all felt like we got to sleep in a little bit!!
The weather was perfect..nice a cool and sunny! I hear the forecast for next Sunday is supposed to be nice too!! woo hoo! Let's hope it doesn't change!!
The 8 felt good but I was telling the girls that I feel like I need to be running more so I don't loose what I had!! It feels really strange to take a whole 2 weeks to taper. I know it is the time that my muscles are rebuilding and that I need this rest time to be stronger on race day... but it still worries me that I'll loose what I had built up, mileage wise.. But I'll follow the rules, as hard as it is, and only run what the schedule says which this week is 3 miles Tuesday and a whopping 2 miles Wednesday and that is IT! I'm going to go stir crazy!!! Hmm.. I know, I'll put all that pent up energy into race day, right?? Ha! We'll see!! At least that's the way it's supposed to work, right??
Kathy asked if the nerves have set in yet and yes, they definitely have!! 1 more week!!
Gotta run, our friends down the street are having us down to grill out dinner and to celebrate the end of my marathon training!! That is so nice of them! They've been following my training all summer and have now decided it's time to celebrate the end of 19 weeks! And I can't agree more!
