Stay Tuned

The Eugene Marathon is coming up on May 3rd and I am getting extremely excited. I really don't want to jinx myself as I am currently in the throws of taper.

I feel like I have trained better than ever before over these 18 weeks and managed all minor injuries well. I'm fighting all my second guessing and worrying during the taper and placing a ton of faith on this training as running 6:40 /mile for 26.2 miles still seems incredibly daunting.


I've created a little summary of my training below.
