I’m at my peak!

Tomorrow is my last 20 miler before taper-time, and man am I relieved! Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved training: the gradual increase in distance each Saturday, the accumulating weekly mileage, and the commradary (or commissary) amongst my running friends. But I’m pooped! My whole life revolves around when I can squeeze a run in. My back and legs ache. I haven’t ridden my mountain bike in months. I am super excited about the marathon (which is 3 weeks from tomorrow!) and I want to savor these last training runs and the overall anticipation…but I’m about ready for a rest.

This is a great moment in time…those days before your first marathon…savour and know that you will be digging deep no matter what….
