One Week to Go

The San Antonio Marathon is next week.  As I sit here and type this, I realize that at this time next week I should be at mile 2, or the porta john.  Currently in San Antonio, it’s 68 degrees!  That’s not good.  The one thing I fear more than anything at a marathon, is the weather.  The good thing is though that the high there today is only projected to be 74.  So at least it’s not really going to get any hotter.

I really want to run a lot this week to get more miles in that I’ve missed because of injuries, but I know that is pretty stupid.  I need to take it easy and rest up this week as much as I can.

After this marathon, I am thinking of doing the Shamrock Marathon in Virginia Beach on March 21.  The main reason is that I don’t think the San Antonio Marathon will go well for me, and I want to get back in the saddle right away.  Plus it gives me a chance to see my brother.  I know he reads this blog, so I should state that I haven’t decided for sure yet, but I will let you know soon.

About Dave

I was diagnosed with MS about 8 years ago and I am one of the lucky ones. I don't have too many problems associated with it, and the disease has actually slowed down. I took up running 6 years ago just to see if I could do it. So far I've run 7 marathons in 5 years and 18 half marathons.
