Denver Marathon Preview

     I know it has been a while since I have posted something so I figured I had better get on it.  I took a week off of work, and Kayleigh and I flew to Texas for a small vacation.  I didn't have a whole lot of expectation to keep up my training schedule, however I did pack my running clothes.
     We went out for one light jog, but other than that I pretty much took the week off.  Unless you want to count the 18 holes of golf, lounging in a pool, and 12 oz curls as training.  It may have been a bad decision since I am running the Denver Marathon this weekend. 
     In the end, I am running the marathon for fun, so I don't feel like it was that bad of a plan.  We can pretend that my recent stall in training was my taper week.  After Sunday's race, I should be back on schedule (as low impact as possible) and ready to head into November. 
       Here is a preview of the elevation for the marathon this weekend.

I am not sure if you can read it or not, but it is not too bad.  I think the max elevation change is 300ft.  It will be a fun race, I get to run through downtown Denver and pass Coors Field, the art museum, and the zoo.  The music should be nice too.  

     Everyone think of good thoughts, my goal is to finish under 4 hours.  If I can keep from cramping like I did two weeks ago in Boulder, I should be fine.
