Houston Marathoners, do not mess with your pre-race routine!

Why was my 6-mile run so lame this morning? I slept horribly last night so instead of the usual Gatorade and bagel bite, I drank a huge cup of coffee and part of a hotdog bun.

Man, this ain't college any more. I'm too old for improvised marathon training.

Whatever you're doing now before daily runs, keep it up and don't divert -- especially race day!

Coffee is ok, Gatorade is great, bagel bites are good too. Whatever you're doing now, stay with it.

And while you're at it, you should be carbo loading and tapering this week. My favorite part of marathon training!
