Well, all of our 2019 training has come down to this! Greg and I executed our tapers and now we just have to get plenty of rest the next couple of days.

Sleep has still been a challenge for me with a 3 month old in the house, but I’m feeling pretty dang good with only two more refresh runs before the race. The nerves are building in anticipation for the 5:15 AM start Saturday morning, but looking back on my training helps give me some confidence, along with the current weather forecast for race day!

I would also like to bring up the fact that Greg got a nice mention in the race preview! To say I have learned a lot from countless hours on the trail with him is a vast understatement and I’m certainly looking forward to running our first race together – even if we don’t stay together for too long!

For those that didn’t read my post last week, I am dedicating my race to a former teammate and friend Andrew Carroll. I hope I can make him proud!

To everyone toeing the line in the marathon, 50 miler, or 100 miler this weekend – good luck and enjoy the race…and remember to thank the volunteers!!
