T minus 6

I don't plan to run today. My leg is not as sore as it was Monday after doing 4 miles on the treadmill, so that's good, but I want it to be much better by Sunday. My plan now is to perhaps not run at all the rest of the week and just let this thing improve every day.
So, today my chances of completing Sunday's marathon are up a bit from Monday's 10 percent. I'll put it at 15 percent.
A good sign: the weather report from most sources call for a cool and sunny day on Sunday in Des Moines. Couldn't be better.
