SEVEN DAYS to go

Wow. Can't believe it's down to one week before Boston. Thanks to everyone who reads and comments on this blog. I'm serious when I say that your good vibes go a LONG way! I know they will carry me to the finish line.

Yesterday completed week 2 of tapering. Today begins week 3, and you know what? I am not going to sweat ANYTHING this week. I've trained, and trained some more, and this week I'm going to run based on how I feel and not based on the training plan (which thankfully is light anyway). I got 9 hours sleep lastnight and honestly I still feel like I could sleep all day. My body is TIRED, but my mind says "GO RUN, you SLUG." I'm tuning my mind out!

Good thing is I finished a Sudoku puzzle and believe me, it's been months. Granted, the puzzle in today's paper was an easy one, but still. :) And more cool news... my hubby bought me my birthday present early. He bought me a Level 1 CrossFit Certification class. I'm so excited!!! I'll be attending at the end of June (right after my big 3-9). It's nice to have things to look forward to.

I'm REALLY excited about the Ohlone 50K on May 18. I'll be running it with some friends from high school, Mike (also a blogger) & Dan. Danny has run it before and he's also a sub 3:10 marathoner. Both are inspiring and we are going to have a blast on that trail! Right guys? :)

Okay, time to chow some lunch. You can tell my carbo loading has begun because the scale said I'm a pound heavier than I was 2 days ago. Oh well, it's all for a good cause, right? See ya' soon, friends.
