This has been the taper of all tapers. But, I did run today to be sure I still knew how. I didn't push it at 9:33/mile. If I run into terrible pain, it will be during the marathon, not before. The good news is that I had no problems at all with my left knee, but I did feel a shooting pain through my right knee, which quickly went away. This increases my hopes and confidence for Saturday. Some of you will receive text messages when I cross miles 13, 20, and 26.2. It's not that I will have my cell phone. Rather, it is a service provided by the TOU marathon, using the chip timer in my shoe.
