"If you feel bad at 10 miles, you're in trouble. If you feel bad at 20 miles, you're normal. If you don't feel bad at 26 miles, you're abnormal."
~ Rob de Castella, on marathon racing
I have put together a photo montage of my typical marathon experience. Not only am I seeking out the joy of running, but, I truly believe there has to be some humor in all of it to lighten things up. Because, really, without a little humor, what's the point? Okay, and if I'm being totally honest here, I had more time this week than usual on account of my taper. Who knows what would happen if I had this much time on a regular basis. Fortunately, it's not something I need to worry about. 1 day, 42 minutes, 56 seconds to go. See you on the flip side.
