| | so this is it..the final 3 days before my first marathon on sunday...
i'm in the final phase of training which is the tapering part - no
serious runs and a time of rest so i can be refreshed for race day
42.2 km - eeks - not sure if i'm ready for it. i've gone through all
the training but yet, i don't feel like i'm 100% ready. at least for
the half marathon (21.1km), i was able to do 20km and other mileages
close to it during training and still felt ready for the race. this
time around, i have only gone as far as 32-34km and even at those
distances, i have had tightness in my body. another 8-10km...i'll echo
what i said earlier - eeks
another thing, it's been quite sunny and warm here in vancouver as
summer seemed to have come a little early. so far, my training has been
in colder and wetter weather. i'm hoping for some clouds, and some coolness for that day...
well, let's just hope all goes well...i'll guess i won't know until race day.
on a good note, i did the sun run a few weeks back and i raced it. my
time was 45:30 which is a personal best for 10km as far back as i can
remember. wonder if i could have done better if i didn't start out in
the back of my colour group or if i didn't run 23km the day before  . wifey also had her personal best of 56:49. yay wifey!! 
i know i have been talking about running for a while now and an idea i
thought of is starting a running group at the church. i guess the goal
of that would be for the neighbourhood folks around the church to be
exposed to us. seeing that the church isn't going anywhere anytime soon
and seeing that running is a very popular activity nowadays, i thought
this would be a good thing to try out. i haven't talked to anyone else
about this except my wife and now all you few who check my xanga site.
this is just an idea in my head but i decided to share it here so i
won't forget  if it pans out, it will be a few months down the road as i'm hoping to sleep in saturdays as training will be over soon
3 more days...
