this is for all the marbles

today is the 31st of january, sunday. its a little less than a week before the condura run. if you would glance at the top of the blog, it says 6 days. i just completed my last "long run" before the race. nothin tough. 8k. which i comfortably finished in 1:10. i dint want to push myself. i dint want to open the opportunity for injury. just the required mileage, and thats it.

it is also around a month ago when i decided- why not? do the full mary at condura. its one of the more prestigious races here anyway. and only a handful of races have the full marathon distance. 6 days away. did the training. did the mileage (ok, ok, im a few kms short). registered. got my game plan on. playlist, check. all systems go. ive read a lot of runners blogs saying that your first marathon is always the sweetest, most memorable. im excited. i hope its not anti climactic. i feel like a virgin, doing it for the very first time. will she laugh. was it good for her as it was for me? i hope i dint look stupid.

preparation. opportunity. see you at condura.
