Easy Does It

ORN 8/29/05, 50 min, 5/1

Still not really sure about the whole back thing. I'm pretty stiff, and - to be honest - a little scared of setting myself back. So, today's run - and most runs between now and the marathon - are going to be cautious. I've got a solid mileage base, plenty of time to get in an 18 and 20 miler, so I'm going to take everything else down a notch.

This is always a nerve wracking time for anyone preparing for a marathon. The weeks and WEEKS of preparation are behind you, the few weeks left are the hardest, and it just seems like every little thing can throw it all off. And then the TAPER begins!

Waddle on, friends.
