It's Marathon Time

I have only ever run two full marathons, both of them about a year ago.  This coming Sunday will be my third.  I'm terribly nervous, but I suppose it's only half the distance I'll be running come 3 June so I really shouldn't be too worried about this.  However, in preparation for the 42.2km that awaits me in a few days I am taking the following actions this week:

a) Sleeping as much as I can ie afternoon naps and early nights
b) Eating as much as I can and
c) Keeping my feet up

Of course I find it impossible to not run so I am still keeping my legs moving with a run every day but they are slow and comfortable runs and are always followed by lots of stretching and massaging when I get home.  Whether or not I'm 'marathon ready', remains to be seen...
