Since there were a few questions about it, I ran today pain free. (Yeay!)
I spent about 15 minutes stretching before leaving home (about 2 hrs before race) and another 15 about a half hour before the starting gun. Also, took 4 ibuprofin before leaving.
I really believe that the three pronged approach of chiro, stretching and ibuprofin is making it all work.
Mileage plan is just 3/4/2 leading up to the big day. I can't remember the last time I ran just 2 miles (other than pain shortened.) Seems hardly worth putting on a clean set of workout clothes!
L'Chaim!

Good stuff!
So glad tere was no pain.
You should use the 2 miler as a practice run for your full. Wear the same clothes carry the same fuel...etc...that you plan to use on race day. Just to make sure everything feels "right".
Glad there is no pain! That is great news! It is funny about the short distances now, isn't it. I still remember the first time I tried to run 2 miles. I told my husband exactly where I was going and that if I was not back in 30 minutes to come after me. Then I asked him to wish me good luck. Now I say, I will be back in a minute this will be a quickie. LOL
