Psycho

I have run 500 miles over the last 4 month injury free.  The rest days and walk/run were key factors in keeping healthy.  Now that I have tapered I am starting to feel little aches and pains.  Jim said I'm psycho.  I think he meant psychosomatic.  First my quads hurt.  My quad have never bothered me.  Then it moved to my ankles then my knees.  When I ran my first half marathon, the day before I hurt all over and didn't think I would be able to walk the next day.  I was perfectly fine.  I'm sure I will be fine this time also.  Maybe I am psycho.

Today was a rest day.  I usually walk or hike on rest days but today I really rested.  I will do some stretching and foam rolling.

I am getting nervous but excited about the race.  I'm not sure why I get nervous.  I will be one body in a mass of thousands running somewhere in the middle of the pack.  I will also have my Slug Sister to keep me on track.  I am looking forward to it.  Maybe it is psycho to look forward to running 26.2 miles.
