My legs and body always seem to feel sluggish at some point during marathon taper. I imagine that this is normal due to the significant decrease in mileage after weeks and months of hard training. On Friday's tempo interval workout I felt pretty good. However, in today's 13-mile run with my friend Jurgen, I never felt comfortable and interested in the run. I'll call it a case of marathon taper syndrome.

Good luck!!! You know you are ready - just shaking off jitters.. you will do awesome. Can't wait to read the race report.
Go do it! You know you can!!
At least you have that experience to draw from. You'll come around, and on race day you'll be laughing. After reviewing your training it looks like you're in for a good one.
Good luck with your upcoming race! You know you've done all you can, now it's time to put all that planning into action.
thanks for the comments guys.
