Happy tapering, everybody!
Just a few more days until the big race. Are we all ready to run in the rain? Does everyone have a strategy?
My race day strategy (borrowed from Shea) is called "commuting." The idea behind commuting is that you run the race you are trained for and commute (i.e. maintain a slow pace) until you get there. In my case, I only trained for a 15 mile race (due to my injury); so my plan will be to commute my first 11 miles and then run the remaining distance at my best Oprah-beating effort.
Look for me on Friday (around lunchtime) at the marathon expo. I'll be there with my mom buying packets of gel and engaging in people watching.
Look for me on Sunday. I'll be running on the right side of the street. If I seem distracted early on, it's because I'm "commuting."

Commuting. That's an interesting concept. It's a different way of forcing you to slow down for the first few miles.
Just remember not to try any new products (gels, goos, food, liquids) at the Expo. Bad things may occur...so to speak.
Good advice, Haight.
Problem is, I haven't had very many products this summer, so almost anything I buy will be new to me. I will have to take my chances.
Bonk = bad
