5 weeks???

5 weeks and counting. I am feeling good during the week, and I hope good things for this weekend. I had a bit of a runner's knee issue last weekend at the end of my 13, but I am hoping doing every single workout this week (I know, I'm lazy, a lazy marathon trainning kid) that this weekend will go smoother. I killed hill repeats yesterday, after 5 miles running around, did 8 of them, yes, all 8, aimmed for 6, after 3 I knew I had 8 in me... and I feel fine today, a bit lax in the legs, but thats normal after hills, and its not killer, so that means good things.
got more margarita shot bloks in the mail yesterday, and i'm hoping for my new nike compression shorts to come today so I can test them out tomorrow during the long run.
I am on the hunt for my race day outfit, I have realized that i'm going to want to carry shot bloks, (I know, I know, should just learn to like the gu's that they will have on the course, but I like my shot bloks) and baby steps, I am going to run without water on me, it weighs to damn much, and they should have plenty of water stops where i need them, jsut got to remember to eat shot bloks before i get to them.
Back to race gear... I realized I need pockets.... it is a marathon, and in shot blok terms, its about a blok a mile... so I've got to find someplace to put roughly26 bloks... one pocket on the back of the shorts, looking for a top that eaither has a big pocket, or what I am finding is 2 pockets, which could work out since I will have extra salt (margarita) bloks and regular (berry) bloks, and needing to keep them straight...

Other than that, looking good, nervous, worried I won't be ready, but I am making major strides in eatting better, and being present when I eat, for the most part anyways... Oatmeal instead of doughnuts (i did have 1 today, b/c its friday) trying to eat earlier rather than later, more protein, portion control on the carb foods, more fruit, this week will try and include more veggies... and lots of water, good sleep... going to try and loose a few pounds before the race, just so I don't have to tote them around, and well.. I want to look like a hot chic running that race, not like a pear shaped 1/4 life crisis 1st time marathon runner... lol
would like to be at 130... this morning (before eatting) i was at 137.5, here we go...
