Oh man. It's getting so close. For the past couple of weeks I have been so paranoid about getting ill or picking up an injury but it's been going OK. The last couple of weeks before a marathon are the taper period when you decrease your milage and rest up a bit more. It's been great actually but really odd how a 13 mile run suddenly seems quite short.
I've done 3 runs over 20 miles in training. The first one was wonderful and I breezed it, the second one was awful, I felt rough after a couple of miles and honestly don't know how I got to the end. The third one a couple of weeks after that was another good one, felt good at the end of it and actually functioned like a normal human being for the rest of the day instead of a limping wreck. I just have to hope that all the training pays off and I get round fine on the day. Whatever happens I am determined to enjoy it.
