5 more days

Only five days until the  St. George Marathon.  Now is when I panic.  Did I train enough?  Am I ready?  How could I possibly run 26.2 miles?  What what I thinking.  Oh no!

First I went to Marathon.Com and read reviews of the race.  Overall the review were very good.  However, there were many comments like:
"Tougher than expect"
"Half uphill and half downhill"
"Challenging"
"Uphill from miles 7-12"
"Don't be fooled and think this is an easy course"
"Very hot"
"Be sure to train for lots of hills"

Yikes.  The elevation map does not look that bad.  Where did these people come from?


The heat could be an issue but hydration is key.  Forecast for Saturday in St. George low 56 high 87.  It will be hot but we should be done before the heat of the day.  In addition we trained in oppressive heat in September.

Next I watched a YouTube video of the course.  It didn't look bad. 

Whatever happens in the race it will be a fun weekend with my Slug Sister.
