Subject: Week Twenty: Starting to Get Nervous (Oh, and 8 Miles)

This past weekend I did a short 8-miler as a recovery run from the 23 miles, and this upcoming weekend is another short 10-mile recovery run. (I can't BELIEVE I'm thinking of 10 miles as an easy run!!!)

The marathon is 5 weeks away and I'm definitely nervous now! I have just one more long run (26 miles) before the marathon itself.

I can be sitting somewhere doing something completely unrelated to running and get a sudden mental image of the marathon, which sends butterflies shooting through my stomach. Sometimes it's a nice, pleasant, eager sensation. Other times I think I will vomit. :)

I'm already counting on having to run a marathon on 0 hours of sleep. No WAY am I falling asleep the night before.

So, I don't have much to say this week. Just thought I'd ramble about my nerves for a bit.
