Oh, Godfather

Ok, ok – haven’t blog in a long time
Let me catch up

June - blah, blah, blah……..
July - blah, blah, blah……..
August - blah, blah, blah……..
September - blah, blah, blah……..

Current day:
This weekend it will be three weeks until Hartford Marathon. I’ve been averaging 50+ miles a week since late July. I have had plenty of long runs of 20 miles and a high of 21 miles. Some of these long runs were with a group and two were alone – alone sucks like winter. I have discussed running this Marathon with everyone that will listen – especially runners who have run Marathons before – looking for all kinds of advice. I have no idea what my body is going to do after 21 miles. I don’t want to go out hard and hit the wall around 18. I want to run a smart race – can you run smart? Remember, I went to Chariho, I have to use spell check writing this.

Summarizing – I’m turning into a basket case. The anxiety is getting to be overwhelming as I’m thinking about this race all the time – even in my sleep.  What to eat, what about the weather, what should I wear (I know Muddy, cloths). What pace to run, What if it’s windy…………………Some of these things or concerns are out of my control – that I know.
 

Oh, Godfather, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. ...
