Adventures in Marathon Training

"You have to forget your last marathon before you try another. Your mind can't know what's coming." - Frank Shorter

2 Days to go!

Oh boy! It going to be hot. The same temperature as Grandma’s in Duluth. Really, too hot to be running 26.2 miles. However, I’m going to do it. Through pain, heat and discomfort I will finish this race and give it 110%.

I ran a three mile dress rehearsal this morning. It went well. I tried to run without the knee strap and realized that I still need the strap. Therefore, I will be running on Sunday with the Cho-Pat knee strap to keep the tendons from sliding around the wrong way.

On NPR’s 848 program, I heard an interview with the producer of the documentary called “The Spirit of the Marathon”. There is a preview on the web site http://www.marathonmovie.com . Very inspirational.
