"Keep your face always towards the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you." - Walt Whitman Looks like a sunny, but cool day on Sunday; perfect for a marathon.

The taper is working, I feel light, fast, and rested. Though I'm feeling restless and need to resist the temptation to run more.

An easy short run tonight to keep the legs loose and light, and appease the dog's incessant demands. Husky drama.

Just 5 days to the marathon! Now is when I need to trust my training and not overthink things, or be tempted to squeeze in more. OOTD.

"No one is you, and that is your superpower." Felt light and powerful today on my run.

Your body can stand almost anything, it's your mind you have to convince. I need to remain positive this week leading into the marathon, knowing the work is done. And OOTD.

Running is my alone time that let's my brain unspool the tangles that build up over the days. Marathon week! One week until race day. My run today didn't feel as good as I was hoping, but time to let that go, and trust the plan.

I felt like I was running in these boots today. My legs were heavy and unresponsive. Hoping I feel light and efficient for tomorrow's 21k at marathon pace. Although the great Emil Zatopek, multiple Olympic champ, regularly trained in military boots; maybe he was on to something.

Another version of my favourite bikini. Wishing I could spend the day on a beach, after my run that is.

Happy Friday! It's been a busy day for me. I got in a solid 8 miles, and I'm feeling good for next week's marathon. 🙂

I had dry needling done on my tight quad yesterday, followed by an easy run. Its sore today so I took a rest day. The work is done, I need to show up to the marathon healthy and rested. I am stretching and foam rolling though. I recommend a foam roller for sore, tight muscles to aid in recovery.

It's a good sign that my legs aren't feeling too bad today after yesterday's 24 miles. I will still take today off as a recovery day. Now is the time to reduce the volume, and increase the intensity. Plus OOTD.

Final shape. So relieved to have that run done. I was worried about it as my legs have felt unusually tired lately. I was worried I had over done the training or peaked too soon. The run went very well.

The banks may be closed for the Labour Day holiday, but I'm making my last big deposit into the bank of running. My last long run before I ease back and show up rested and ready for the marathon. Less than two weeks out now, and I'll be making a big withdrawal.

I did a short, second run with my dog. It was very slow (unless she saw a rabbit), which my legs still needed as they're just not as responsive as I was hoping. I need to make sure I'm hydrating, and that my diet is good. Beautiful night for a run here!

My legs feel loads better after yesterday's rest day. I took time to stretch, and rub out my tight quad and calves. So important to listen to your body. Today will be two easy runs, and my last long run tomorrow before I taper for my marathon. ROOTD.

Took an unplanned rest day from running. My quad is still tight, and my legs just aren't responsive. Time to listen to my body, and allow proper recovery. For the OOTD, just can't decide, gray or black jeans?!

Looking forward to the long weekend, but first a steady 16 mile run. And no, I'm not running in the bodysuit.

A slow 8 miles last night, and a 4 mile shakeout jog this morning. Today is a slightly longer sustained pace where I'll dial in marathon pace; going to be beautiful out too! Casual friday for OOTD. Happy Friday!

"When you focus on the past, that's your ego. When I focus on the future, that's my pride. I try to focus in the moment, in the present. That's humility, that's being humble." - Giannis Ugo I was able to get in 6 miles at a decent pace without too much discomfort. Just grateful to be out there today!
