Shaking it out the day before the marathon

I am just back from 2 miles to shake out the legs the day before the Soldier Marathon.  I took it really really easy and ran on feel and not by the watch.  It still turned out to be very close to marathon pace..... let's just hope all those miles are this easy tomorrow :)

I am still not feeling great (sick runner) but today's run proved that all the breathing passages are cleared for takeoff.  If I feel this good tomorrow I will be fine.  I just need to keep on my eating plan (my plan) and keep the fluids flowing and all will go good.

I am getting ready to head out for some breakfast with my wonderfully supportive wife and then take care of some last minute errands and then we will be heading off to Columbus to hit the expo, pick up my bib and chip, and then take it easy the rest of the day.

Wish me luck! :)

    Hi. I just posted a comment on your post from last year for Chickamauga. My husband and I just ran our first marathon yesterday on the same course. Then I saw your tweet about your marathon yesterday. Congrats!!! on the sub-4.

    I've been following you anonymously for a while, congrats on your marathon success! So, which race is better: Soldier's or Chickamauga? I did Chick for the first time and thought it was fabulous.

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes. The race went great and, yes... I made my goal of sub-4 :)

    The race report is finally up, and as always it is very thorough.

    Thanks Anonymous for the comment here and on the Chickamauga race report - congrats to you and your husbands first marathon!

    Saundra - Congrats on your Chickamauga race. Honestly I liked both for different reasons, but if I had to choose it would be the Soldier Marathon hands down.
