How Not To Freak Out Before a Marathon
Taper making you twitchy? I've found the perfect solution:
Schedule a move one week after the marathon.
No, seriously. I've got a marathon in 6 days, and I'm moving in 14. I'm so concerned about the move (and the packing... and more packing... and still more packing) that I've barely even thought about the race. I'm just running whatever's in the plan for the day, and then all of my spare mental energy is on packing and moving (and packing - how can there be so much packing??). In fact, this week I'm making a special effort to remember that I have a marathon this weekend (and thusly things to do like review the course map and tell my parents where/when they'll be able to see me, pick up the rental car on Friday, figure out what time I'm leaving on Sunday, pack for the weekend (gah! more packing!), etc) because I'm afraid I'm going to forget something vital if I don't.
Apparently Moving Freak Outs totally trump Marathon Freak Outs. Who knew?

Good luck, Dawn! With the marathon tomorrow and with the move next week. I hope you'll be able to take it easy for at least a couple days after the race... Can't wait to read about how it went :-)
