I should be entering about mile 20 of my marathon. At least I hope I am. If I'm not, things are not going well. And, well, that's a distinct possibility, because my body is not in what one would call "top form" right now. I have a cold and a sore throat, the cramping just began for major PMS fun, and I'm really, really tired---oh and nausea (a side benefit of the impending ulcer of work stress this week) has set in. Besides that, (and the fact that I never completed that last 22 miler before taper began), and I'm feeling like a million bucks.
SO, I have now turned this marthon into a "how strong am I mentally" kind of run. It can't be about how well I've trained or how much endurance I have, because frankly my body feels like crap. Crap on anti-biotics. So mental toughness comes into play. I'll let you know how the mind held up in about 60 hours---give or take.
