19 days out; refrain
Beginning tomorrow-April 1, I'm cutting out coffee and alcohol for a few weeks. Lent? No, the Beantown Marathon.
The race is in nineteen days, and with my last long run finished, as of yesterday, the proverbial money's in the bank.
Well, the little that I've invested, that is. Come raceday, I'll have been training for four months, compared to the two I put in for Dublin, the only other m'thon I've run. And I'll have more long (>20 mile) runs under my belt this time. But I haven't been nearly as dedicated as I'd hoped, and my overall weekly mileage has been weakly, overall.
Those are the breaks, the brakes, the breakers. Berserker shirkers, soda jerkers and basement lurkers.
We'll see how it goes. I've gotta cool down the calorie consumption now that I'm getting into taper mode and'll be running less. I just put down a 1200 calorie tub of peanutbutterchocolate soya ice cream this morning, and it was wonderful. Last cup of coffee now. Tomorrow will be headaching and tea'tea'tea.

Good luck.

In the marathon, or in habitual abstinence?
Thanks either way... During the race I'll be using the thought of you and Melvin in the Little Debbie Challenge for inspiration
