I imagine that's the kind of sentiment you may not care to hear right now, but that doesn't make it less true! I'm proud of you and everything you've accomplished for yourself. I say this BEFORE the race, and I'll say it after. You never do less than your best, so no matter what, you’ll still be a winner.

I totally know how you feel. The two weeks before my first ever marathon I was a train wreck. I was shooting for 3:10 and finished in 2:59:04. Tapering for me was nearly impossible. I just HAD to run harder. I kept telling myself that anything done in those last two weeks could only hurt me in the marathon. Nothing I did then would help me run faster. It was too late for 'productive' training. I too reloaded the 10 day forcast page on weather.com every 10 minutes. Hope to see you in Boston! Dean,
