easy pace was very fast this morning as my legs continue to recover from months of mileage. Beautiful fall weather. weather looking great for a marathon Saturday. I need to back it down like now for the remainder of my taper.
Watching NYC marathon yesterday and seeing the pain in the eyes of Lucas Rotich and Lelisa Desisa took me back to just how difficult a raced marathon can be. The marathon asks everything from you while you're out there past mile 20. You question everything and it's really tough to have faith but somehow you just keep putting one foot in front of the other and just giving a little bit more and although you may be afraid, you make it to your goal. Sounds a bit like life to me.
