The chronicles of training to run another marathon under 3:15:00 to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

It's Almost Over
So this is almost it. Did my last long run today. That means training is just about done and all that's left is the marathon itself. I'm always a little sad around this time of year knowing that my training is just about at its end. That's not to say that I'm not excited about the marathon. What saddens me is that I lose my goal. Along with it goes my drive to do something better. But it is what it is. There will always be something else to put my energy towards. I'm hoping it'll be Boston! :-)
This final week before the marathon is mostly going to be a waiting game. Day off Monday and Wednesday, a mild Tuesday night workout, maybe a short run on Thursday, striders on Friday, and stretching on Saturday and lots of crunches up 'til Thursday. Lots of crunches 'til Thursday, and thankfully, lots of eating!

I completely agree with you. It's a huge letdown after anything you work towards is over. I will be there volunteering, so I plan on tackling you at the finish line!
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you there! I'm hoping to be so spent you'll be able to knock me over with a wet noodle! :-)
