Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am a Mormon

 

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

Look on the bright side. You might lose a pound or two.

That should aid your taper - you won't be tempted to throw in one last 8 mile MP run... seriously though, this really won't affect you by Sat. You will be healthy and ready to attack the course.

Oh no that sucks. Rest and liquids is best:)

Thanks Melody and Angie. I appreciate your encouragement!

You will be fine, Tara, seriously. Geb was injured and did not run one step the week before he set the WR in the marathon (one of them, I don't remember which one :)). REST!

Think of it as a good pre-carb loading flush. Better that it hits you now than later in the week. Hope you feel better soon.

Feel better. Drink purple powerade and eat otter pops. Louie Blue Raspberry.
