Busy 12.5 hour work day with adorable "Newbie Cuties" on mother/baby. Hope my legs and my mind feel alive like Allie's did before TOU, just a teensy bit is all I ask. Not sure of my capability under the "procrastinator not on purpose running plan". I can't believe how badly I felt only two weeks ago and how slowly but surely my body is recovering from the added iron, vitamin D and Bs. Seriously remembering that dreaded extremely painful 20 miler up the trails "with" Melanie is a nightmare to forget. I figure if I feel that much pain running as best I can at SGM I would be satisfied. I can't have any regrets. I didn't do the time (adequate training) so I can't commit the crime (PR) unless my mind gets me to where I have been before and takes me there. A lot of racing comes to play mentally over the physical. Our bodies can take a lot our brains will it too. I believe in the power of the mind.

YOu are deep in the throes of taper thinking! I know how you feel--I felt woefully undertrained a month ago and then had a few lousy races to prove it, then bang a confidence-giving tempo and now I don't know what's in the bag for me! In all honesty, you have been so consistent all summer that there was probably never any "loss" in fitness--it just sucked to run for a while! MInd over matter, I believe it too--especially for you with your history of pulling the rabbit out of the hat. Rest up, vitamin up, think sleep not miles and you HAVE the tools and the fitnesss for a great marathon!

Julie just go out there and have fun. You really never know what your body is capable of until that day. Sometimes we do the time and don't even come close to the crime anyways! No regrets. I'll be mentally cheering you on.

thanks Melody and April. I plan on enjoying myself. I really feel this will be a fun race for me. I need it. : D
