Michelle's Marathon Madness: Take 2

So, I just get my next training block from my coach, which covers the marathon. Here's what he's got in there:

"Almost party time! You passed all the tests. Those were waking up and heading out to run miles and miles and miles in iffy New England Spring weather. They were doing tough bike intervals and keeping the motivation up to hop on the bike after running for 2 plus hours! They were paying attention to your diet and recovery and your health. You passed em all with a 4.0!

My one note on the race at this point is to keep the excitement in check early. 9-9:30. No faster. Cruise. Let people go – they will. Then you will pass their cramping, aching carcass’s along the road some place around or after 14-17 miles. Cruise. Smile. Laugh. It’s the Boston Freaking Marathon! How cool is that! You, Michelle Spina, are running the Boston Marathon. You know what? Your ready for it! So Smile, Laugh and Enjoy ok!"



Yeah, you guessed it. I'm crying. At my desk at work.

I'm such a loser.
