The Worst Part of Pre-Marathon
Has to be the waiting. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this marathon to happen and be over FOREVER!! The hardest part about this marathon so far has not been the training or the longest runs or the hot weather but the WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING to do the dang thing. GEEZ.
I was sick last week and unable to run for about five days. I think it was food poisoning – ugh, nasty sickness. I have run the past couple mornings and plan to run tomorrow morning, all short runs of course, and then FINALLY the next run I will do will be the marathon.
So how about that Chicago Marathon being called off? That was encouraging knowing mine is the weekend after, haha. Fortunately they’re calling for a cold front just in time. Whew!

Best of luck! I too was quite antsy before my marathon. It’ll be here before you know it though!
