You would never think of those types of side effects from losing so much...I've been experiencing the same thing. I'm always much colder than I used to be:) Good luck on your race, can't wait to hear how it went! Jeff Honeycutts last blog post..10 to go

Getting sick is fairly common -- get it out of the way now. After my marathon I was the sickest I had ever been -- took forever to pass. This is a rest period -- you'll be fine on race day and your body will appreciate these few days of being laid back. Enjoy the marathon experience. I hope you'll find that it's not about the race, but the experience. David H.s last blog post..14 weeks…

Andrew, You are going to do great. You may even benefit form the rest you've been getting these last few weeks. Can't wait to hear how it goes. Tony Tonys last blog post..Still Working At It

You crazy Kiwis with your reversed seasons.. and you crazy long distance runners with your..er.. long distance.. runs. Dang. I hope you get back to feeling in tip-top shape for your marathon. I was sidelined for about a week with a sinus cold of Biblical proportions - not too fun. Hope the run's a good experience!

Hey dude.. sounds like winter is on the way! I cannot imagine how beautiful Christchurch is. I am drooling just by thinking how beautiful it is. Listen up dude, I have a great deal of confidence that you will do very well. Don't set your expectation too high. Most importantly, rest well. Hydrate well. You want to have fun. Whatever the time is, that will be your benchmark. You will have a terrific opportunity to figure out what went right and what went wrong so you know how to prepare for the next one. That's makes it all the worthwhile and more challenging. Teds last blog post..Get the show on the ROAD !

I am sure that you will do fine on your upcoming marathon. You have trained a lot and you have the drive and determination to get it done. You have trained hard for other things and you just have to remain focused on the task at hand. I love the motivation and the determination that you continuously have.

Andrew, I hope that you have a great time on the marathon. Enjoy the day and don't do anything too crazy. It's not Disney, so don't let any fairies pass you ... because if you see a fairy at mile 20, you may be hallucinating! Avoid getting sick and keep those legs healthy! Happy Racing!

That's great - going from feeling sort of nutty to really nutty! It's a good thing that you are on the mend and will be able to enjoy the marathon for all that it offers rather than suffer through it and miss much of it while being miserable. I look forward to reading all about it and wish you the best of luck leading up to and on race day! Vavas last blog post..5K Race Result

The cold was something I hadn't anticipated. I'm only just thawing out from our winter. It's almost June and I've not yet turned on the A/C. In Memphis, that's unheard of! On the bright side, my electric bills are bound to show a positive result! I'm sure your marathon will be properly grueling and that you'll wonder why you ever thought it was a good idea. I'm also sure it will be a remarkable, rewarding experience and I hope that in your fatigued state, you can find time to revel in your accomplishment because, simply put, it's amazing!

Very exciting! I briefly considered a marathon, but after getting wiped by the half, I thought I'd look for something a little less grueling. Looking at your training, you'll do great! Good luck! Greg at Live Fits last blog post..What Is The Best Healthy Burger Recipe?

Me, once I had like 1 week before the school cross country of 15 kms to prepare. I haven’t done much training and was kind of feeling undertrained. But during this 1 week, I managed to get back on track and didn’t do that bad for the race but I was bit anxious before the race whether I gonna make it. A race is physical but also moral. Still was a good experience. Thanks for the story and good luck in the race Andrew.

Like some others have said, most people feel under-trained for their first marathon. Over the next few days just concentrate on some short runs to keep yourself moving, fuel up, and get your body over the sicknesses. It will be tough and hard, no doubt about that, but I'm betting you'll do just fine. Andrew(AJH)s last blog post..Flemington market

Under a week to go – how exciting! All the best. I think most people feel underdone before their first race at a new distance. I remember lining up for my first half marathon and sweating big time
