I was going to split the running 14 & 6, but as I was running the 14, I imagined how I would be obsessed with needing to go run again and how psychologically difficult it would be. Since I was feeling pretty good, I decided to do the whole thing at once. It was tough, but it gave me a chance to rehearse some of the mental tricks I was planning to use to help me get through the last 8 miles of the marathon. I addition, it gave me a lot of confidence that I will actually be able to do the entire 26.2 miles. I was definitely whipped when I finished, but I was able to function after a little nap and my legs feel fine.
