1 week to go

Great weather this morning, perfect day for a run. Did an easy 3 miles on Beacon Street, listened to some great tunes on my ipod, let my mind wondered and thought ahead one week to when I will be running on the very same route as the final few miles of the marathon.

Hopefully at this point, I will still be running and not too sore. I am sure the hundreds of people lining Beacon Street will help distract me with whatever I am fitting at that point, be it mental or physical.

Despite not running much the last few weeks my heart rate is still in the zone I would like it to be. So I do feel next week my challenge is going to be muscle aches and pains as I push my body through my longest distance since a 20 mile run last September.
