| Spent the night in Seattle after seeing "Wicked". Great fun! 4.5 easy miles in downtown Seattle early, cheerful good mornings to all those sleeping in doorways. Kind of nice to be in the busy city. |

Easy miles, group run. Ran four with the group, then rejoined the other part of our group at the track and ran .75 more so I could catch up on some gossip. Its cold and raining rather hard. Came home soaking wet and feeling great. I had a pre marathon massage today that lasted for two hours! I honestly don't know how I stayed still that long. Well, really I didn't, I wiggled a lot. It felt good after, though! And, I had some very nice coffee afterwards. |

| Another drenching run! It was patchy clouds with some sun all day, EXCEPT when I decided to go running. Within 2/10 of a mile, it just opened up and poured. Sheets of rain. Drenching rain. Splashy puddle rain. Soaking shoes rain. For 45 minutes. As I got to my driveway it stopped. Tell me that wasn't planned. Fun run, splits were 8:55, 8:39, 8:37, 9:01 and 9:07. It is absolutely absurd that after six months of training and just days away from my marathon, I still can't run an easy mile! That just cracks me up. Happy running everyone. |

| 5am, 48 degrees, slight rain, no wind. Wore complete marathon outfit, minus the shoes, since they are wet from yesterday. Stuffed two gels into my shorts, two in each side of my bra. I think this will work. Only logistical problem is retrieving them from my bra gracefully. I'll practice some more. Spllits: 9:39, 8:41, 8:35, 9:20. This was as planned, to use Sno's analogy, easy bread, marathon filler. I'm ready. Can't wait for the train ride to Portland so I can sleep. | |

| 5:30am, 51 degrees, calm, light rain. It felt much colder than 51; there is a lot of dampness in the air. I met some of my group at the track and we did four easy with 3 200m pick ups. We just did one at the end of each mile. The pick ups felt good, nice and easy, a little faster than 5K pace. That's it! The marathon training is in the bank. The next few days will require only two very easy miles with pick ups on Saturday morning. Looking forward to getting to Portland now, and resting (?) |
