6 hours till MCM

Oct 26, 2013

Shocked beyond belief that I got 7 hours of sleep, I haven't injured myself during taper and I actually feel more happy than nervous! Breakfast will be several cups of coffee/tea (cuz I plan on hitting the starting line with an empty colon!!), 2 Power Crunch bars, and a protein shake. That oughta be enough carbs & protein to get me started. I have a package of GU chomps to eat during the run, and they'll have a Sport Beans aid stop near the Mall, so something familiar. The first aid stop is going to be fresh oranges. Cool idea, but in practice it'll be a mile of sticky feet.... yuck! Um, and the final food stop is Dunkin Donuts munchkins. I'm hoping that at mile 22 I still have enough sense in my brain to realize that would be a BAD idea to shove in my mouth.... 

Not loving the fact that my face has decided to break out in some painful & ugly zits. Gonna make those MarathonFotos not so pretty. I wonder if I can keep concealer on for 26.2 miles.....

Mantra for the next few hours; "trust your training!"
