Countdown, Part II

With less than a week to go before the marathon, I continue to feel confident and able. This week's runs are a paltry combination of 3mi, 4mi, and 2mi. Whether it's recommended or not, I might add a few miles to that final run. I mean, come on, 2mi? Is it even worth the sweat?

This past weekend's 8mi long-run went virtually undetected by my body. I am astounded, once again, by this process and I look forward to the coming weekend. While I anticipate an adrenaline rush of nervous excitement, I keep reminding myself of the age old adage "slow and steady wins the race." Then again, I have no inclination to look at this as any kind of "race." Simply to finish will be my win.
