8 Days to Go -- Send Me Your Playlist
The marathon is 8 days away. I can't believe it's so close. I'm generally excited, but very anxiety-ridden. What if it rains? What if it snows? Food poisoning? I'm convinced I'm going to be done in by a slip in the shower or a misstep on the sidewalk -- or that every sniffle is an oncoming flu. Must chill out.
This week I had three 4-mile runs on my schedule, a 6-miler and a 5-miler for the weekend. I don't know about you, but that seems like a lot of running so close to the marathon. What happened to rest being the most important part of the last 3 weeks? So I'm making this week two 4-mile runs (which I've already knocked out), a 6-miler, which I'll do tomorrow with Steph (yay, she's back), and 3-miler on my own on Sunday. I'm running my shorter runs slower than race-pace minus 2 miles in the middle which I will run at race pace. At least that's what Runner's World told me to do.
Now, a lot of you have sent me amazing advice over the past months and I'm so grateful for it. Now I'm asking you to help me with my playlist. Please tell me your favorite running songs so I can head to Philly with an iPod full of pumped-up, motivating, get-me-through-the-wall, run-my-best-marathon-ever music. Thank you!

Jennifer, I'm proud of you just relax try not to tense up and everything will be just fine! I'm not a runner, but I use to cycle on a regular basis. I have been having some really bad back problems, you know herniated disks, L5,S1. It's starting to feel so much better now so I'm gettting back into my routine. I love cycling, it's one of my passions! Just pick songs that you enjoy, songs that pump you up and get you motivated, you'll do just fine.
