Okay, kind of obsessing, but overall not as much as last year. I'm taking a rest day from running today. I ran 7 days in a row which is not much for most of you, but I decided not to make it 8 in a row because I was a little sore during yesterday's workout.
I had run 2 miles warm up (including strides), then 2 miles tempo at an average 6;45/mile, then 2 x 800s @ 3:04 and 3:06 (or thereabouts), then 2 x 400s at 1:28 and 1:29, then 1.6 miles cool down.
I'll do 6 tomorrow and MAYBE throw in 2 miles at goal pace, but probably not. Then 4 miles on Thursday, nice and easy. We fly out Friday. Yaaaay! Saturday I'll do 3 easy then hit the expo. Sunday, I'll watch the WOMEN'S OLYMPIC MARATHON TRIALS, and then rest... then eat at the BAA Pasta Dinner. Yum!
I think I need to pinch myself because I can't believe it's almost here. It feels like the week before Christmas for me!

you are going to do great!!! i cant wait to read all about it next week!!
GOOD LUCK!
YAY!!! I am so excited too. The weather looks like it is going to be much better than last year too... still could change but at this point it's looking very good.
You're going to do so well!! Have a fabulous time!
GB,
You are 100% prepared. Not only for this race, but anything that comes along this year.
I know tapering is tough, but for these last days, avoid taxing workouts, weighing yourself, and eating "adventurous" food. So many people pull a Willis and have stomach troubles...I stick with bland.
Here's to a great race!
Ron
taperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Rest those legs GB, don't worry you forget how to run :-) just bottle up that energy and just visualize it!!
I just recorded it on my TIVO
On TV

Good Luck to you! Go get that 3 hour ish marathon for the both of us. Our training looks amazingly similar to bad I can't start this race with you. There will be others. Go get em! Enjoy!
Broken foot Steph
You might consider running along the Charles river in Boston for your easy 3 miler. It is as flat as can be. Last year I saw a couple of the Kenyan runners doing running along the river. It was weird seeing them plod along at 8 or 9 minute mile pace!
Here's a link to some distances
