Total Distance

3.00

2 laps around the neighborhood after work, nice and easy. I made it to the marathon without having to do a single treadmill run! Last run before the marathon! Scarrrryyy! The taper certainly plays tricks on your brain.... my last long run was soooo long ago and that is certainly bothering my confidence! It is 90% likely to rain on Saturday and 60% likely to rain on Sunday.... guess I will be packing my garbage bag. I'm not really sure what to wear because it is so rarely rainy and warm here. Guess maybe a hat and a garbage bag over my tank top (plus maybe a throw away long-sleeve?) will do it.

It looks like Portland still isn't going to do text alerts, but they will have live results on their website. What's your bib number so I can be a virtual spectator and see how you're doing?
