Lots of us in taper mode right now. You probably can relate...
RE #4: My first marathon nightmare was getting lost on the course. I think that's a pretty common one. Except why was I carrying a Pyrex pan of lasagna???? Must have been all that crab loading!3 -

I don't know how runners made it through the week before Boston in years past when there weren't 10 day forecasts easily available on the internet.

Oh my god this is so true. Especially "half the mileage, double the appetite." Taper + PMS = I can't stop eating!!!!

New Shoes Arrive tomorrow! I keep telling myself "Wait until Sunday's recovery run, don't wear them on the Long Run....Wait until Sunday's recovery run, don't wear them on the Long Run...."0

Got in another 8 miles today before venturing north to Canada this evening. After a 15 minute warm up, I decided to do a 30 minute pace check at the heart rate I started my last Pittsburgh marathon at to figure out what sort of pace might be sustainable for my upcoming marathon (as I held on for even splits in that race). The weather was a bit warmer than the marathon (70 degrees) and I hadn't tapered like I would before a race, and ended up coming in at a 7:13 pace (3:11 marathon time w. tangents/etc), which is pointing me towards starting Pittsburgh with the 3:10 group and letting the chips fall where they may for the race (as 3:10 is my 2017 BQ time, but I'll need a 3:08 or so to guarantee a slot).
Regardless, I just got a slot for Chicago via the lottery today and should have a better shot at a 2018 Boston slot by October if things don't work out in Pittsburgh.

"Sometimes you have to push yourself, and it can be uncomfortable. You will want to quit. But if you can find your edge and embrace the discomfort even for a little bit, you'll find a new level of fitness, skill, and knowledge. And there's no better feeling than growth."
