A week left until the marathon and the final longer run scheduled. I left early like I’ve done lately on Sundays to get used to the early start time. The run went OK, but somehow I felt weak in the end. I thought it maybe had something to do with the Friday’s tempo run that I had postponed by a day. However, yesterday evening it became evident that the disease bothering my son and wife had taken a grip on me as well. When I woke up today, my throat was very sore and now the confidence on participating at the Berlin marathon is not very high. Let’s see; I really would like to see how my workouts have paid off, but on the other hand at this age I know that if I’m not completely healthy, it is of no use to start at all. After all I want to run marathon races in 30 years still…
Tomorrow there’s a run scheduled, but if I feel weak, it obviously will be skipped…
