Running 18 miles is going to be hard. Don't be discouraged by the fact that it's hard. It's hard for everyone. These long runs make the race easier. Remember how you felt on the good days, and that the work you'll do on Saturday is going to help you feel that way on the day of the race. You had a good attitude about the people passing you on Thursday. You're not racing them. You're not even competing against yourself on training runs. Race day is 1/13/08. Until then, it doesn't count. Hope to see you Saturday, but if I don't, good luck on the long run. You're doing great. Hey, Alan,
