The Final Countdown

Yesterday's Run: Temperature: 64 beautiful perfect for running degrees. Road: 4 easy miles; splits: 8:51; 9:02; 8:52; 9:00; 35:44; 8:56/Mile pace.

Fun run, nothing else to say, except it's "The Final Countdown" to the Hartford Matathon. 4 days, 2 plus hours to go, as of this minute. The cheesy song from Europe keeps going through my mind. WARNING: Do not listen, or it will echo through your brain cells for god knows how long. You will find yourself singing it at inopportune times...OK, I warned you!

This used to be my ringtone. Once I was on a run in VT and all of a sudden it started thunder-storming; like masively thunder-storming. My phone started ringing. So here was this girl book it up the hill from lake champlain in a storm and with her she's bringing the final countdown. I should probably put this on my playlist for this weekend.

Ha ha... I don't need to listen to the video the song is already going through my head... thanks a lot.

As always your splits are spot on. I cannot wait until that happens to me.

Even though this marathon is a trainin grun for you I know you will do well. How can you not?

OK I need to find another song to listen to so I can get this one out of my mind.

HAHA you have to have a trusting face to let women weigh you! I know 1.8 is good, I have to get out of my head! That's the hardest part..I get these crazy numbers in my head and then if i don't get there i am dissapointed. Since you have gone through I will listen haha PROMISE. I am sticking to it and no more crazy numbers.

Now for a ww question. Did you struggle in the beginning with writing things down and figuring out new recipes?
