I am approaching the end of my second taper week in preparation for the Marine Corps Marathon next Sunday, and I must say I am really happy with how it is progressing. My legs feel as good as they have in months, and so far I am not nearly as nervous/anxious as I was expecting. Tomorrow is my last remotely long run before the marathon (eight miles), and next week I am just planning to do three short runs and rest, rest, and rest. I have started carbo loading and hydrating and completed a pretty intense physical therapy session on Tuesday with another scheduled for tomorrow (it turns out my leg issues are due to weakness in my hips, not because my IT bands are too tight). That is about all I have to report right now--I can't believe the race is just 10 days away!
