I went up the canyon for these easy miles.  It felt strange to do so little on a Saturday.  The canyon was PACKED!!  I think everybody was getting a little tired of having to say hello to everyone going in the other direction.  I saw some National Guard folk out doing their 2 mile for time.  A couple of guys I knew were running so it was nice to talk to them and feel the military bond.  One of them owns a business where he makes a breakfast cereal - kind of like oatmeal - called Rockit Fuel.  It is made of lots of whole grains, is super-filling and tastes good too.  Look for it at a whole foods store if you're a fan of such things.

One week to the marathon.  Scary.  My husband is making me go to bed by 10 or 10:30 at night, he's making me stretch during every conversation we have at night, he tells me to hydrate every time we talk and before we say goodbye on our Skype conversation for my night he tells me to visualize a positive race before I fall asleep.  Honestly - the guy is so darned supportive and knows me pretty well to push me through all of these weaknesses of mine.  Marriage isn't half bad.
