Arrived home about 6:30 pm after a busy day, had dinner, and then wanted to go to bed as my cold was getting worse. However, I really needed to get my 8 miles in and have committed not to take more than one day off in a row between now and the marathon. So I headed to 24 Hour Fitness and climbed on the treadmill. I was far from my best and it was a real struggle - but got it done. Ran the 8 miles at a 4-hour marathon pace.
There is always a reason not to run - but so what. After two marathons you understand that a missed run is going to cost you on race day.
A marathon is a test you cannot 'cram' for. Either you are ready - or you are not. It is really quite simple.
