3 days and counting...

Only a few days left before the race and I'm getting pretty excited (with a "hint" of nerves thrown in). I completed my final run on the training program this morning; it left a lot to be desired. Most of my shorter runs have been in the afternoon/evening, and I generally have a good amount of energy. However, the runs on Tuesday and today have been first thing in the morning (due to evening commitments) and I didn't enjoy them one bit! I had heavy legs and no energy...I think I definitely need food in my system before I run. Luckily, I've been eating about 1.5hrs before my long runs, so I think that strategy should work for Sunday...we shall see!

So, besides the lack of energy during today's run, I had my second run-in with abdominal cramping! Ugghh...without going into to much detail, I hope it was simply a case of my body being, umm, "off-schedule." After breakfast/COFFEE, well...I felt better :-) Hope that wasn't TMI. So, instead of running 3miles, I only made it to 2mi before I had to stop from the pain. Just a little extra rest for the legs, I guess :-)

Anyways, thank you for all the good wishes! I think it will go well, but if it doesn't, at least I have a few more races to look forward to this year :-) And in case I don't update before Sunday, all the best to those of you with races this weekend, too!
