| I would normally have run yesterday as well, but between my cold and the fact that it was in the 30's and raining outside, I didn't think that it was in my best interest to run. I know that it was the right decision, but I didn't really want to miss another day or running for the week. I ran at the gym this morning. It was fine. It took me a couple of miles to warm up to my 10:00 minute/ per mile pace, but eventually I did get there. The right leg felt funky again.

It was nice to finally run outside again. I decided to run a couple of miles at race pace to make sure that I was ready for Sunday. It went well. I was able to run mile 4 at a 9:19 pace and mile 5 at a 8:52 pace, which was definitely faster than what my goal is, although I didn't feel particularly fast. My legs felt a bit heavy at the start, as if I was breaking a new pair of running shoes. The taper has been a bit rough. I feel like a blob, although I must say I have not eaten any of the candy that I have been given this week. I am saving it all for post-marathon eating.

| Well, this was an interesting morning. I went to the gym as usual, but unfortunately, the person who opens the place wasn't quite there. Keep in mind that I get up at 4:10am so that I can be there when it opens at 5:00am. After waiting for 20 minutes, I decided to go home and run from there. Once I got home, I had to change into warmer clothing since it was 31 degrees out. By the time I was able to get out there I had about 50 minutes or so to run, which is about 5 miles of running for me. It wasn't bad and I felt fairly safe. It was fairly dark in a few spots. I would have brought a flashlight, but the smallest one that I could find would have been too heavy to run with. I really wanted to get my usual 7 miles in, but 5 is better than nothing. I will try again tomorrow at the gym. This will be my last run before the marathon. |

| This was my final run before Sunday. It started out a bit slow, but I was able to get up to my normal 10:00 minute/ mile pace by mile 4. I felt pretty good once I got going. I am looking forward to Sunday and am hoping for the best. |
