71 hours to the San Diego half-marathon start, but I already feel the fevor. It so hard not to go out for a long run. (That would be a very stupid thing before race.) The reason behind my fevor is not to compete with others, not even to compete with myself, but to run, to fly with the easiness, with the plus energy that only a race can give me.
(And as I read, heard to millions of other runners.)

Yesterday I read a long article in Newsweek about sport over 50. I am not over 50, but I do accept the advices given to them: take it easy. But it is hard when I feel 26, when my heart/lung feel 26 - to accept that my legs are 46. I am proud that during my one year running training I never had any injury - it means somehow I was able to tame my temper, but it is harder and harder. Fortunately DH is a very disciplined man, he always holds me back when I feel the adrenalin rush:-))))
