9 Days to Go - Nada Today

Well, I just got back from dinner, after going to a law event tonight. Josh was on course to make a chicken tonight, but it ended up sort of raw, so out to dinner we went. I didn't do any workout today. But I did speak with someone who just did his third Houston Marathon this year. He said that the first year he trained, and did ok, but it was his first marathon and he'd hoped to do better. The second year, he slacked, and actually ended up within 5 minutes of qualifying for Boston. This year, he trained really really hard and ended up not doing great timewise, and ended up exhausted before leading up to, and after the race. Let this be a lesson: don't overtrain. I'm certainly not in danger of it, that's for sure.
