Time for the taper...

It's hard to believe there are just under 3 weeks until the Marine Corps Marathon! Over the past few months of training I've learned a few things

1. Do not run too close to the trash barrels in front of the Met

2. Do not drink 4 glasses of wine the day before a 16 mile run

3. Gu is no longer my friend

4. I am a better runner when I have Sean with me

5. Running with a Garmin watch can be VERY discouraging

6. Next time I ask Sean's dad for a good hill work out - find out how big that hill REALLY is before attempting to sprint up it...

7. I do enjoy the occasional after work runs in the park

8. Although life has been busy, I still managed to keep up with my training...definitely not as difficult as I had anticipated...just needed to find the time

9. Running part of the Boston Marathon route for my final 20 mile run made me SO excited to run in 2011

19 Days to go!!
