I can't tell you the numbe...You will do great! I can't tell you the number of blogs I've read over the last few weeks with people freaking out during their taper weeks. That's what tapers are FOR!! They give you time to psych yourself out!<br />Go out there and run your heart out, girlfriend! Then lick your wounds a bit (if there are any, but I know there won't be) and find another race to sign up for! <br />You've come too far to throw in the towel now, you're girl. Just like me!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606131327600041337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892219856618345167.post-20197891179158261182010-10-24T10:23:31.971-04:002010-10-24T10:23:31.971-04:00Just found your blog.

See if you can tap into that peace you were feeling.<br /><br />But seriously---- the week before a serious race is NOTORIOUS for the mind games.<br /><br />You will do great, because, DUDE -- 7 months ago, you weren't even RUNNING at ALL!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09192756909845991854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892219856618345167.post-13863207225301807282010-10-22T18:34:59.787-04:002010-10-22T18:34:59.787-04:00You are going to do GREAT!!! You have to believe ...You are going to do GREAT!!! You have to believe in yourself and you know you got this! I have never been in a race that was that strict...for my half-marathont they had a 3 hour cut off but that was just because they were going to open the streets to traffic. Basically, if it takes you longer than 3 hours run at your own risk. But they gave a medal to EVERY finisher no matter how long it took and they were there until the very last person crossed the finish line.<br />I can't wait to read your race recap and I will be cheering you on from New England!! Good luck and try and have fun :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
