Actually, less than that. By this time on the 4th day, I should ideally be past the halfway mark :) But yeah, if you have talked to me recently, you'll know that I am just about ready to get this over with.
After 6 months of training, logging in ~440 miles and 70+ hours of running, I am finally ready to tame this beast!
I head out to Seattle on Thursday evening after work, will hit the expo on Friday morning to collect my t-shirt/bib no. and then probably not sleep on Friday night and then crash and burn on Saturday morning. That's the worst case scenario. Or one of the many worst case scenarios that have been going on in my head over the last couple of days.
Nervousness aside, I feel pretty confident, though the enormity of the event probably won't hit me till Saturday morning when I am standing in my corral . And it'll be too late to chicken out at that point, so I am just going to go and run the race anyway. That't the plan.
In the meantime, I'll continue to look at cheesy motivational videos on YouTube to remind me why I signed up for this 8 months back and to keep me from going mad over the next couple of days.
And talking about videos, found a pretty cool video on Last Minute Marathon Tips on YouTube:
