Marathon Training: Week 17 in Review
Wow. 17 weeks down, one week to go. This morning the little countdown on my cell phone says "6". How scary is that? Scary + exciting, all at once, I believe!
I am now trained. I have run 20 miles (+!) more than once. I am comfortable with what I have done, I feel confident that I can run a course that is brand new to me and run it successfully. I know where I am going on the "racetrack" at least in general, but it will be run backwards from the course that we ran a few weeks back. But still, I feel like my familiarity with the course is decent enough that I will manage.
Here are the workouts of the week:
I covered close to 28 miles last week, which isn't too bad for the week before a marathon. And it doesn't really feel like I overdid it or anything. I just feel pretty good and ready to run next Sunday!
Today will be a short 2-3 mile run at lunch. I am focusing on simply keeping my legs moving right now. Keeping things loose and comfortable until I have the race next Sunday.
Any one out there have any week before the marathon tips for me? I am very excited, but very nervous as I have never done this before!!!
