almost
it's two more weekends to the marathon! i'm nervous but more excited than anything. excited to be making my first trip to the states, and of course very psyched about the race.
i haven't trained as much as i would like to, honestly. i started out rather well, doing my usual runs thrice a week. and then in the beginning of september, i had to stop running for three weeks due to medical reasons. it was a real bummer since that would be the weeks the distance had to increase. but i decided nothing else was more important than my health and recovery. it was difficult getting back again as we all know what kind of damage such a hiatus can do. and then i had to pretty much train alone as gl was running the hills in preparation for her northface run. needless to say, it wasn't all a bed of roses. but i knew that i had to stick it out - i seriously don't want to suffer (that much) during the race. managed two 30km last weekend and yesterday which is abit late in the game since we are supposed to be tapering now but all's good. i can't complain. and now to keep to at least two runs this week during the taipei work trip. we leave for nyc this coming saturday, i'm sure there would be lots of runners on nyc streets next week, i can't wait to join them.
just packed for my two trips yesterday, i'm almost ready. now all i need to do is get a digital watch (the strap of my only one broke from long lag of no-use) and do some mile to kilometre conversion.
next post should be a race report :)
