You are *so* ready for this marathon, Jess. You’ve trained hard and logged the miles. It’s tough, but remember to relax and enjoy it–you will kick butt!

You’ve got this! You are so lucky to have great friends you’re training with. I trained completely alone and had nobody to “freak out” or be excited with except my own head. Enjoy these last days before the race and all the stretching and foam rolling

I totally need to take a chill pill. The training is in the bag!

We did run that entirely too fast! Agree. But the way I’ve come to terms with it is: maybe that was the way to make 13 miles closely resemble the fatigue we may feel by that point on the course come race day. In any case, we pushed through and managed a fast last mile! We’ve done all the work, time to trust the training. And, time to give our legs a bit of a break

I rarely comment on blogs but i must say you are trully inspiring! I have been reading about your training for some time….and today’s post reminded me of the greatness within us…a quote by TS Elliot summed it up nicely: ” Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out How far one can go.” You will do fantastic!

I think you’re ready, Jess. I had similar thoughts of unreadiness. My training had been going so well till I got sick and after a less than stellar 20-miler I was having doubts. But at this point you have to remember (as I have been telling myself!) that it’s all mental. You’ve done the training. One bad run isn’t going to take it away from you. At this point, just enjoy the next 2 weeks. You got this!
