Three more days
Three more days until the Marathon!
My sister and her husband arrived late last night.
I have been sick all week, started in earnest Monday afternoon, basically a head cold- runny nose, cough, headache, muscles are sore and weak. Seem to be improving. The downside is have not run at all yet this week, have been returning home from work and going straight to bed. So, I am well rested but feel weak. If cannot do final practice run tonight will try to do it tomorrow.
Likely will leave work early tomorrow, go home, pick up family and drive to Chicago to pick up Marathon race number, t-shirt, etc.
While I have been sick the girls have been great, they visit me every now and then, bring me water and gatorade in bed and sometimes lie at the end of the bed and talk to me. Plus, they have been drawing Halloween themed stories at school, last week they did a collection of different ghosts, and yesterday they drew a story about pumpkins. It is great to look at these things, makes me very proud of them.
Oh, and at their Polish school, the teachers both told Aga last weekend that N&J are the best students in the class, that their vocabulary is outstanding.
I am alternating between worrying about the marathon and then remembering how successful all of my training runs were, especially the 20 miles. The coolest thing was how little soreness I had the day after the 20 mile practice run, so maybe this marathon will not be as painful as the one ran in 2003?
