If I listen to my own advice on tapering, I shouldn’t be worrying about what the weather is going to be for the race, but I can’t seem to stop checking the forecast for the weekend in Philly. The forecast seems to change day to day and from one channel to another, so its hard to pinpoint exactly what the forecast might be since i’ve seen mild temperatures, then rain, then a little cooler …. I guess I need to convince myself that n the grand scheme, it doesn’t matter, but its not easy to do that.

I wrote the other day about overeating as well, and i’m struggling with it right now … i’ve got this urge to eat, but I know I can’t just eat whatever I want. These people keep bringing donuts and stuff to work … again, I get into work and there are a ton of donuts sitting there for someone’s birthday, and that’s not what I needed.

My runs have been pretty good although my hip and back seemed to flare up a bit on Monday, despite the short 3 mile distance. It wasn’t as bad today, so i’m thinking its just some soreness from the heavy hill running on the weekend…. just one more actual ‘run’ to go tomorrow before I drop off the miles totally before the race. I got the opportunity to road test the new music I loaded to my Ipod over the weekend, its important that I make sure I have the right music setup for the race.

There was one disappointment today, and that was that on the news last night, they said that we’d be able to see the big meteor shower, in the east sky at dawn this morning. Well I was out at dawn, looking in the east sky and I saw absolutely nothing .. it could be because it was somewhat cloudy, but I was able to see the beautiful sunrise, so maybe I missed it, but i was looking forward to it.

Well, on to rest up …
