So here I am visiting my family in McCloud California. I am out here to see my family and run in the Redding Marathon on Sunday. I was told by my coach that I needed to run a marathon in January and 
there just happens to be one an hour away from my folks home.
there just happens to be one an hour away from my folks home.It has been wonderful to see my mom and dad and spend time with my sister (and her husband!). The weather here is incredible. 50's during the day. McCloud sits at the base of Mt Shasta and normally the highs should be around 20-30 and it should be snowing. Not this week though!
I have enjoyed relaxing and sleeping in (8:30am!) I've been on rest days with a 30' easy run tomorrow. I have begun to "carbo-load" by drinking CarboPro and taking VO2Max in preperation for Sunday. Also, plenty of water! Nothing like time in the forest and nature to help with relaxation.
Until Sunday I will enjoy just being with my parents. Tonight my sister and her husband will be over and we're all going to watch our old home movies. Should be an absolute riot and walk down memory lane! I can't wait! Fun, Fun and more fun! And some serious relaxing until Sunday........See ya at the start line!
My mom looked up your results for me when I was on the ferry back from Catalina. Congratulations on a excellent marathon. I can't wait to hear about the ups and downs, and to hear your story!
