Marathon next Sunday

The week started out with slightly sore legs from the half marathon last week. Tuesday's run was 8 miles w/8x100m strides. Wednesday was a 5 mile recovery run. My legs felt better for Thursday's run which was 8 miles total with 3x1600m at 6:54 pace with a 2 minute jog in between. Friday was another 5 mile recovery run. Saturday was 7 miles with 8x100m strides and today was 13 miles for a total of 46 for the week.

23 weeks and 1270 miles of training in the books and I still worry about the marathon next Sunday. My legs feel good - no adverse affects from the half marathon last weekend. I've survived the training and it looks like I'll actually be heading in to the marathon well trained and healthy. That's not something I've been able to say about any of my previous marathons. Hopefully my goal and plan are realistic and it will all come together next Sunday.
