Final Run Before the Race
Charlotte was over at a friend's house last night when I got home from work, so I decided to take Isabel on my final training run. It was only a 3 mile run, so I figured pushing a two year old would be no big deal. Isabel had a blast. She talked the first two miles almost nonstop. She pointed out every car, every dog, all the trees and all the places that she knew. I just ran a mile and a half down vine street and then turned around and came back. The run back was a little windy and the temperature was dropping pretty fast. It was 37 degrees when we left and only 30 when we got back. I could tell Isabel's face was getting cold, but she was having too much fun to complain about it. After the two mile mark she started putting her hands to her face, I assume, to keep her cheeks warm. About 3/4 of a mile before we got home she fell asleep. It was a pretty bumpy ride, but she slept soundly all the way home. It was really cute. She was ready to go again as soon as she woke up and Charlotte was pretty jealous that she didn't get to go. I told Charlotte she can come next time I go running, which may be never. The only food I ate yesterday before my run was a small bowl of spaghetti. I wanted to be hungry while I ran, just to get a small feel for how parts of the race are going to be. I felt good though. My knee never really started to hurt and neither did my foot or back. I guess I am as ready as I will be. Now I just need to stay away from the chocolate and candy until after the race.
