Did I Peak???

So I have been trying to get out and run a bit since the long run and have been having troubles even getting to 3 - 4 miles. I am not sure if it is a mental thing or whether my body is still re-couping from the 17 miler. I want to get out a couple more times to simply keep my legs moving a bit. Starting on Monday, I am also switching to a very high carb diet to prepare for the big day.

So far race day looks something like this...

• Spend the night in the guest apartment of an associate of mine downtown.
• Wake up to a sunny 40 degree morning and hope that it does not get hotter than 62 that day
• Eat banana and a Gu with Gaterade to wash it all down.
• Walk down to start line with dad who runs the first 5.5 miles with me.
• Gun goes off at 6:30 am...due to the other 15000 runners around us, it takes us at least 5 minutes just to get up to the start line.
• At mile one - wave to my friends and family who got up early to see us pass at 6:45.
• At mile 5.5 - wave again and drop off dad. Take another Gu with Gaterade and pick up my running belt with phone and 3 more Gu's
• Call at mile 13.1 to let them know I am still plugging away and force down yet another Gu - hopefully this happens close to 2 hours 15 mins
• Legs start falling off at 16 miles but I continue to plod on since now I am 10 miles away from "home".
• Suck down a Gu yet again and call at mile 20 to coordinate at finish line
• Meet boys at mile 25.5 and run with them across the finish line by 5 hours 30 mins
• Sleep for next 15 hours
