McVick,
Appreciate the transparency with your post.
I'm trying to stay out of my own head....I need to understand training runs are to train & I'm fighting the urge to turn each one into a race...the marathon has caused some confidence and some doubt...Sometimes I think the only way to not bonk on mile 19 again is to go run 20 @ marathon pace haha

Yeah, I have anxiety kicking in already for the Sugarland race! Doing a good bit of MP work, but nothing near 20 @ pace, just following the plan. Has anybody NOT felt like death @ 20? Somebody please tell me they haven’t, haha.
As far as my status, pretty much plugging away, starting week 18/20 tomorrow for the race on 1/17. Long runs of only 14, 12 left. I’ve done 3x18, 2x20 & a 22 mile long run, so I just have to trust that I’m where I need to be. Dealing with some behind the knee pain within the last week, although it may (hopefully) be getting better. Popliteus muscle? Definitely not jumping off the plan now, against conventional wisdom, of course.
The Sugarland course looks pretty boring, albeit flat and it’s a loop so at least that’s better than a P2P as far as dealing with winds. We’ll see. Honestly the thing that concerns me most are leg cramps. I’ve had some pop up before at the end of hot long runs. Planning to pop some salt/Electrolyte tabs prior and as needed/every hour during the race.
Nice to check in!
