The week of a big race

The Week Of...

Here we are! The long awaited week of the race. Home field advantage. The Lincoln Marathon! You have to to love race week. Work seems to slow to an almost complete halt. Sleep comes harder and harder. I'm not sure if its because of the tapering from your regular training or because all you can think about is the coming race.

Every small detail of the coming weekend seems to be planned out and yet there is still a sense of suspense. This is what we all have been preparing for over the last 4 to 6 months. Mornings, nights, weekend long runs, track workouts, ice cups, massages, all in the slow grueling preparation for what could be the longest run of your life.

One thing is for sure. No matter the outcome of the race, after it's all said and done, recovery time has been taken. We will get back out there. On the back roads and trails speeding swiftly and quietly along, dreaming and planning for next years goals.
