Thought break

With less than 4 weeks to go until the Baltimore Marathon and a big week ahead, I’m committing to keeping some thoughts to myself besides what happens on individual runs. I have a million things on my mind about running, this training cycle, what’s worked, what hasn’t … but I’m balling all those things up and keeping it inside my head a while longer.
It’s similar to my thoughts at the end of July when I didn’t put my flag in the ground and claim it as the best month ever. I know many people will disagree with me and others will completely understand, but this is part of my process. I have a big week ahead with another 20-miler (or more?) planned for Saturday. I have to nail this week and solid runs in my taper just to get to the start line.

All this “come back” hasn’t worked until I get through Baltimore in one solid piece.
