Today was a 15 mile long run with miles 12-14 at race pace. It was a beautiful day with the temperature in the 50s when we started. The run felt great and the three miles at race pace felt comfortable. I think we will be ready.
Since both our husbands are out of town, Kathy invited me over for dinner. I learned long ago never to pass up a free meal. Kathy made us delicious spaghetti so we can start our carb loading. Then we took 3 of her dogs for a walk. Her dogs are a good source of comic relief. When we got back to her house we played ping pong. Ping pong is the only sport which requires eye-hand coordination that I can sort of play. I hadn't picked up a ping pong paddle in years, but it came back to me. It was great fun.
The marathon is two weeks from today. When I looked at the two week weather forecast for Cincinnati, race day shows low of 54 high of 77 with morning showers. They don't know what the weather will be tomorrow, so I don't rely much on a two week forecast. We will run regardless of the weather and it will be fantastic.
