Ode to Marathon Training - March 22, 2009

Blisters, black toes, aches and pains,a change in my routine
Long training runs, the hills, the sprints running clothes fresh and clean.
Carbo load and plan each meal power gels and gatorade
No matter what the weather no time to be afraid.
Humid - hot or freezing cold snow against the face
Wind or sun or raining those running shoes I must lace.
What mile is this how long we been out check heart rate drink H20
Meltdowns joys and triumphs only a few more weeks to go.
Heartbreak Hill won't break my heart this year has been the best
Found myself and made new friends I feel incredibly blessed.
