Thank God the taper begins soon. Honestly, it could start any day now. I do want to get a few more big workouts in, but if I don't, I'm within 3 1/2 weeks of the beginning of the race. For my last marathon, I tapered for 4 weeks (normal is 17 to 21 days) and I got a p.r. Mentally, I just don't know how many more huge efforts I have left in me. And physically, this is my 3rd day in a row up at 3 a.m. The end is definitely near. Either my mind or my body will be saying "Enough!" very soon. Yesterday's attempted treadmill workout was a harbinger. I was hoping for 2 hrs at 13% inclince (avg) and, though my legs felt great, my brain kicked me off of there after just 30 minutes. I don't have any big treadmill workouts left in me.
In a couple of hours, I'll be heading to FH for what is hopefully going to be my last really long workout on that course. I should be fine physically, but will my mind allow me to do 6 loops there for the first time?
Wish I was still home and in bed.
