it's Wednesday and so far no freak out. doesn't mean there won't be one.
I've resisted the urge to buy a pair of racing flats. NOTHING NEW ON RACE DAY! that's the mandate my coach gave me, I give the same one to my runners and I repeat it to myself every time I pass my local running store. although I know if I could cram my feet in those lighter than air mizuno racing flats i'd qualify for Boston. no matter that it would mean running a marathon distance at a pace I can currently hold for a mile or so at best- they'll make me FASTER!
tonight or tomorrow I need to pack. but first I need a little run. just a few miles to feel human.
the summer looks good for some transit running. I mapped the distance from my office to the train station and its only three miles. it'll give me the opportunity to grab a few miles when I'd otherwise be sitting in traffic.
back to the freak out. it happens. when you least expect it out of no where something sets you off. in Vermont it was the opening of the movie "up.". completely lost my sh!t while watching that. that was number seven marathon. number eight was pretty smooth. I was settled in my job and had a great season of training the fall TNT team. it was by far the best marathon experience I've had. this year there is more stress from outside influences. job change is the big thing. new and longer commute, learning new systems, meeting new people. I could insert the life is like a marathon analogy but I won't. of you're a runner you already know all about it.
physically- hammies are "toight like like a tiger!" I'll hit the road for a little bit tonight and see if they loosen up.
