This is the final week till the marathon and in the taper period the focus is on eating and sleeping well. That has been a goal for the year (The Year of Good) so it is not as much of a leap. It has traditionally been an area of difficulty though for me. While I have been able to adapt somewhat easily to pushing myself out the door to log endless miles, I still struggle with hitting the pillow early. There is no amount of will power that can make me fall asleep with, I have tried everything. What I am finding though is that since I have been aiming to improve these areas over the last 5 months, it is coming easier. I want to go to bed earlier and want to eat better. That has helped tremendously. I do think Sunday is going to be a good run and am hoping for a new PR (personal record) on my marathon time. I am still vehemently holding onto my first two rules though which are to have fun and finish.
