My last run before BOSTON

I had my last TNT group training this morning. I knew I was going to run, just not how far. Well, I am happy to report that I made it the full 8 miles! I did not feel 100%, though my knee felt pretty good most of the way. My ribs are what is hurting, but I think that I can make it through the marathon with a few drugs and a lot of focus. My time today was 1:45. Not a stellar eight, but it was more about putting in the miles than it was for speed or anything else. This upcoming week I will SPIN. Rick, my coach, reminded me that NOTHING I do this week will have any bearing on my marathon performance. The work is done. That said, I don't think I want to chance anything on running more that a few miles. I want to rest, heal and hopefully feel a whole lot better than I did today. I also want to enjoy the week ahead with all of the festivities - the expo, pasta party and send off breakfast with my family Monday morning.
