Marathon #6 - Am I ready?

Well, this Sunday I will be running my 6th marathon. The last time I ran the Twin Cities Marathon was in 2007. Many of you might remember that it was a bit hot that day. My friends and I finished, but it wasn't the most fun day. Incidentally, I think I probably sweat off about 10 pounds of fluid, so I guess there's a positive.

I feel really good about my training this time around and I do think I'm ready. My 20 milers were probably the best I've had during any training, so I hope that's a good sign. The weather is absolutely gorgeous right now! I love the crisp, fall weather and can only pray we get the same on race day!

My goal has always been to break 4 hours. The closest I've come is 4:05 in Green Bay last year. I remember feeling great that day and just being happy to PR. I know 4 hours is attainable, I just need to believe I can DO IT!

I have several friends also running the race and there will be others cheering me on. That will help a ton! Overall, I'm looking forward to a fun weekend with friends. Thanks to Jen for hosting me!

Good luck to all who are running Twin Cities this weekend!
