The Not-So-Daily Ramble

This morning was my last marathon build-up run with the Badgerland Striders. It was "only" a ten mile run today, as I am now in the taper period prior to the run, which is only eight days away.

To say that I'm wishing this was over is a bit of an understatement. I think it's more of the suspense prior to the race and all the unknowns: Will I get a time that I'm happy with? Will the weather cooperate? Will I even be able to finish? Will I be able to keep up with the pace group I plan to run with? Will I be completely shot after this race? Will I even want to run again after next Sunday?

Next Sunday will be one of the most challenging days I've had...at least for that time while I'm running. Even though I am very excited to be taking part in a marathon, I have a lot of anxiety over how it is going to go.

Stay tuned, I guess....
