Ah, marathon training. I love when you write, "pats legs lovingly"!!<br /><br />It is weird how different paces can feel on different runs. Sometimes I feel on top of the world and so comfortable with a fast pace. Other days, just my regular pace feels so difficult. I am just praying that on marathon day, we have a "on top of the world" kinda running day. <br /><br />Enjoy your taper. You have put in all the hard work. You are ready- trust the process. You are going to ROCK it on May 5th! So excited for you! xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846428123496329067.post-2788943344569670522013-04-20T22:50:43.275-07:002013-04-20T22:50:43.275-07:00What a great feeling... that a 12-miler has become...What a great feeling... that a 12-miler has become "just" a 12-miler. What a transformation! I agree (as someone who has only run one marathon) that the change is amazing. I ran 9 today and my husband is heartbroken and jealous that he's nursing an injury and can't come along. That's not like us... to miss running! I guess it's like us now!Stephanie@nowirun.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068426546130270155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846428123496329067.post-40776767406916293202013-04-20T19:09:49.616-07:002013-04-20T19:09:49.616-07:00I ate the honey at mile 7.

I took a GU with me, but didn't need it.<br />I did eat a little bit of honey, though. It's much colder where you live, though, than it is here in Texas. Your run must have been freezing!Tina @GottaRunNowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321814382532015313noreply@blogger.com
