Vermont City Marathon Training Run - Psych Training

15.5 miles this morning with my brother / training / relay partner.   Our race is 13.1 miles each as a 2-person relay team.  Last Sunday, that's what we ran.  Today's run was psychological training to build the mental endurance needed to cope with the fatigue at the end a long race.  We both held up well.

It's just two weeks 'til race day so I'll begin to taper now.  This week I'll run 10-11 mile training runs.  Next week I'll drop down to 8 on Tuesday and 4-5 on Thursday.  Then, I'll rest so I'm fully recovered  for the race on Sunday.   I'll be eager to run by then.  

The Scarecrow (my brother) & The Cadaver (me) will be ready!!
