This morning was my final workout before the Marine Corps Marathon. I ran three miles around Hoboken in 7:17 per mile pace. I was aiming for something more along the lines of 7:30 per mile pace, but I just could not help myself from running faster--without feeling like I was pushing at all. I think this is a really good sign I have executed my taper perfectly--my body is just raring to go on Sunday!
I also had my final pre-marathon physical therapy session at Columbia University Medical Center. My therapist (who previously worked on Eli Manning--oh, did I just name drop?) stated my hips look much better than they did a few weeks ago, and I am all set to race! It is just crazy to me to think my marathon training is over. I have to say I really could not have prepared any better--I completed all my long runs, listened to my body, and will toe the starting line nearly 100% healthy. Now it is just a question of executing...
