I can't believe there are only 4 weeks left until the race. I'm not ready. This coming Saturday I will do my longest long run... 20 miles. I know I can do it. I just did 18 last week. But it still seems so unreal. I think I've convinced myself that I'll finish the race. The only question that remains is what kind of time I'll be able to make.
My foot is almost completely healed. It only gives me a little discomfort every now and then during a run but really nothing worth mentioning. I'll consider myself very lucky since I basically ignored my doctor's advice and managed to get away with it. With my injury out of the way the only thing to worry about for race day is weather. It's only recently started getting cold. It hasn't been bad at all, really. Yesterday I had to run in a bit of rain but it was pretty warm outside so it wasn't a big deal. The average temperature on race day is 45 degrees at the start of the race. I remember thinking that sounded so cold last year. Now that I've run through a winter here 45 degrees seems just fine.
I've got plenty of things to keep my mind occupied during these next 4 weeks. This is good because otherwise I might start obsessing about the race.
