2 Days to go (Marathon)

With less than two Days......

I'm really starting to get a little nervous now, less than two days to go till the gun goes off in Frankfurt; 10 AM is start time for the Frankfurt Marathon 2012.

I know my training has been good, getting in upto 100+km per week and, averaging around 80km, with lots of good long runs. 
But......... the tapering period (3 weeks) where you reduce the mileage considerably esp. in the last week, gives you a lot more time to think about things, and that's where negative thoughts can creep up on you.
 

But after two short runs (at marathon pace) this week, I feel like I'm in the shape of my life, so negative thoughts begone!

Tomorrow we take the ICE from Hamburg-Hbf to Frankfurt-Hbf (only 4 hours :)
Lets hope I get another good nights sleep tonight ;)
