2 weeks away

So, it is now down to the final two weeks before the 25k. I have stuck with my plan fairly well thus far, and by the end of Sunday my mileage for the year should be around 220. Tomorrow will be my longest, and final long run before the race; 14 miles. I'm hoping it's not going to be as windy as predicted. Last weekend I ran in the wind, and was amazed at the difference my pace is when I have a headwind vs. a tailwind. I think I averaged 1:15 per mile faster with the tailwind. If only I could run the 25k with the wind at my back the entire time. How great would that be? My guess is that there will be wind, since the island is in the middle of nowhere. Oh well, I'll just grit my teeth, put my head down, and chug along. Well, I guess I better get ready for work. "Waddle on", as the great John Bingham states.
