But the thing is marathon day is the big show, the big end of the road. So treat it like your missing 21 mile long run-- and then add on a few miles for good measure (<; Boom, marathon completed!

I'm shocked I'm not in a mental institution!<br /><br />Play it day by day, you don't have to make any drastic decisions right now, just see how you feel over the weekend. I agree, if you can do 18 miles on a treadmill you can do 26.2 on the road....but understandable you want to get in another longer run, for confidence and endurance. It's all going to be good....stay positive and hey, if you're up at 2am, like me, we can get on AIM and chat! :) That will help you fall asleep fast!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269842279288877030.post-48859864405471809412011-10-04T20:40:17.021-04:002011-10-04T20:40:17.021-04:00You've got this Molly!

My running mentor (who has never led me astray - and honestly, I'm a tremendously injury prone runner) has personal experience and tons of data showing that just doing short speed work runs once a week or so can significantly cut your marathon finishing time. He tells about the time he was training for a full, but got hurt, and only stuck with 3-10 mile runs, but did bursts of speed within the run at a sub 5K PR pace and he ended up getting his full mary PR of 2:38. I think you and your PT are right on. <br />You'll be amazing - one foot in front of the other and just be safe - don't do anything crazy to further hurt things!<br /><br />((hugs)) - limbo is an unsettling place to be for sure!!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432550406970940247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269842279288877030.post-70028766914826406322011-10-04T19:35:21.920-04:002011-10-04T19:35:21.920-04:00You will be ready and you will do great!!You will be ready and you will do great!!Big Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.com
