My little sister is running the Marine Corps Marathon in DC on Sunday. This will be her first marathon. I'll be there to watch and hopefully jump in with her for a few miles. She has been absolutely annoying hilarious these past couple weeks. I've almost killed her died laughing a million times. Here is a synopses of the effects of Heather's taper on my sanity.
I've received about 567,834 e-mails from Heather over the past two weeks. She's asked me kazillions of questions probably close to the national debt. Oh and half of those questions were the same, "what should I eat the night before?" Yes, she's been driving me insane. In fact, I may have even ignored a couple phone calls. Sorry, Heather.
As crazy as she was making me, it was worth it last night. She has so much excitement in her voice. I can tell she is really looking forward to this. She was even telling me about some of her race strategy for the hills and parts when it gets tough.
Heather plans to tackle the hills by singing to herself, "I like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas... I like to ate ate ate apples and bananas... I like to ote ote ote opples and bononos...." I never said Heather was sane.
She also plans to attack the difficult parts my singing to herself. Except for these sections she'll switch it up between "My humps" and "Baby Got Back."
I told her she should start blogging. I mean people have to know this crazy stuff!
Hopefully I won't hear Heather singing "My Humps" or any other song she calls on when it's tough. She has a 4:00 goal and I know she can reach it. The thing with Heather is she will do anything to prove to someone she can do it. She has more mental focus than a lot of people I know.
Good luck, Heather!

I love your sister and I don't even know her! Tell her to add "I'm too sexy" to her medley. Best of luck!
Thanks Janette! I kind of teared up about at that, which isn't like me, so I'll blame the taper. Is it normal to get emotional during a taper?
I'm about to head out for my last two-miles, but before I do, what type of bread do you think I should get for dinner tonight? Multi-grain or whole wheat? Because multi-grain might mean it has enriched flour in it and that would be bad right?
Oh yah and how fast should I run this last two miles? Ten minute pace or is that too slow? Maybe faster?
You need to get here soon!
Congrats Heather!! I tracked you online this morning and you really picked it up in the second half. You should be very proud of your accomplishment and I have no doubt you will be joining your little sister in Boston some time in the near future!! Hope you aren't too sore tomorrow :)
