The Spirit of the Marathon

I guess the thing that spoke to me the most was when Dick Beardlsey said, and I'm paraphrasing here, that no matter how hard you've trained, no matter what kind of shape you're in, you never know what your body is going to do to you on race day. That's probably my greatest fear. I'm picturing 4 months of difficult, disciplined training and then on race day your shins go numb at about mile #3. That's the kind of stuff that I worry about. And so I'm just hoping that the spirit might move us all on May 31st.
