It's officially less than a week until the marathon! I'm very excited about the race and seeing my family. We are flying to Iowa on Friday and spending a few days with my grandparents (who I haven't seen in two years) and some other cousins/aunts/uncles on my mom's side of the family.
I know this will be a hectic week trying to get everything ready to be gone for a 4 day weekend. I'm going to try to get in a few short, easy runs, eat healthy, and drink water, water, water! Any last minute advice from marathoners on what I should be doing this last week?
I'll also accept just life-in-general advice from anybody who wants to chime in as well. I'm kind of feeling like I need a lot of that too. : )
Rest as much as you possibly can. Don't replace running with long walks and late nights :) Eat healthy, but plenty, and like you say, water water water.
ReplyDeleteDo the things that make you feel good!
No advice, just well wishes! Good luck! I am sure you'll do great!
ReplyDeleteSo, I've been reading (stalking) you for the past couple of months and don't think I've ever commented. So here we go. No, I've never run a marathon. It's one of my goals to run one, I just can't pick which one. Hubs ran a marathon, back when he wasn't a runner, he just wanted to get back to Disney World. Anyway, I don't think I've ever been as proud of him. What a test of endurance. Any one who runs a marathon is a hero to me..... run, on girl! Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck! I will be thinking about you & cheering you.
ReplyDeleteget extra sleep - drink lots of water and don't go NUTS with carbs, esp the night before :)
