Hello to you, those who read this blog!
It is a grandiose day here, with the sun shining and no wind, so it looks like it should be about 60 degrees out. Well, it is not quite that warm...actually it is just around 32, but the sun makes everything seem a lot better. I woke up excited and in a great mood!
The taper has been going okay, but not as planned. Last week I had a 30 miler on Monday followed by 8 on Tuesday; my legs felt great on both runs...a good sign! Then I really didn't run at all for the rest of the week, due to the trip to Maryland. This week I ran 4 on Monday (legs felt sluggish and stiff!), and 8 on Tuesday and Wednesday. Today I might go out and run 3 miles or so; the same tomorrow.
The past two days I had felt tired and what not, but now I am beginning to feel back in the game. Maybe it is because I ate about 7 brownies last night?
There might be a blizzard coming, but I am not sure. I heard some people talk about getting 6 to 8 inches of snow, but maybe they live somewhere else. Maybe they live in Nunavut, where there is always a lot of snow.
Regardless, the race is going to be SWEET! I am much more prepared for this run than I was for the super long run in March of 2008. Ben, you can attest to the fact that I was not ready for that one. My mileage had rarely exceeded 60 a week, and my long runs were sporadic...but I got through it, though...
This year, I am ready to get out there and run! I think it will be a lot of fun. I was a little bit nervous about it, but when I woke up this morning, all those emotions were gone. Now, I just need to make sure I don't go run 16 miles today...I will probably want to, so I will have to be extra certain to only go 3.
Well, that is all for now. Maybe there will be another post before the run...if not, wish me luck!
Run, run, run!

I can't wait to hear about the race! You've prepared well and it should be fun, so I won't wish YOU luck necessarily, but I'll wish you good weather!
Yes, please let us know how the race went. Did you end up carrying a live bunny with you the entire run?
Did you eat lots of good food at the end? Was it better than the March 50?
Do tell.
Ensure you floss. Whilst brushing is a great practice, it isn't ample to shield your tooth. Foods debris typically lodge between the teeth this can lead to tooth decay or else resolved quickly. Flossing after each meal may help eliminate trash from in between the the teeth so that you can make sure optimal dental health. [url=http://www.x21w12w21.info]Ca45yhhe[/url]
