Just went for a 3.5 mile run with my dear friend Carmen. Carmen has been at my side since my first walks around the block after my stroke to these recent NY marathon http://ingnymarathon.com training runs. We walked about 1 minute for every 5-8 minutes we jogged tonight and it seemed fine. The relief of not having to think about a long run this weekend is so wonderful! But these mid week runs have been a struggle for me. Either I am not recovering fast enough or I just don't get mentally prepared for them. I am hoping this 3 week taper process works and I have the energy on marathon day!
I have logged onto NYRR and read all the race day tips. I may need a few more items but feel fairly prepared for this adventure and anxious to meet my National Stroke Association running mates. I am focusing on thinking about getting more sleep, eating for fuel and enjoying this moment. And I am confident that awareness will be raised about stroke, one step at a time! I am so lucky to be a part of it.
Cheers-
Katie
