The Flying Pig Marathon is tomorrow. In 24 hours, I’ll have crossed the finish line of my 15th marathon.
I feel ready, because I’ve trained more “seriously” than I have for any other marathon with (six whole weeks of) paced speedwork, tempo runs, and long runs. I feel confident about pulling off a PR, unfortunately… the weather is less than ideal… Tomorrow’s high temperature is 85-degrees with 87% humidity. What is that ?!?!?!
The Pig’s letting runners defer to next year, but I’m trained now. My head’s in it NOW, so I will run. And I’ll run my heart out.
I could say this one’s for Jessie, but really, they’re all for Jessie.
#15 – Let’s do this.
Can’t wait to read your race report upon completion! You are truly inspiring as is Jessie. MARATHON #15… HOLY COW (or should I say Holy Pig)!!! Just remember… “there is no step 2.”
Thank you for this. I’m 2 hrs away from my race and it was exactly what I was looking for.
