Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

I'm about two weeks away from the ultra I've been preparing for. I had a few setbacks (plantar fasciitis, a few days lost to a mystery virus), and while I feel physically fit, I worry that at some point during the hours of running I will start dwelling on my less than optimal preparation. I'm trying to remind myself that nobody ever has a perfect race and that I should just control what I can. I suppose I should start tapering around this point, but I also feel like I should maybe plan one last really long training run to help with my confidence. We'll see if I can find the time this week.
