2 miles easy in Mesa. I felt surprisingly decent for a day before a marathon. Usually I feel like garbage...good or bad omen? We'll see.

Good omen since you've not met expectations going in feeling like garbage! Good luck. If the bathroom stops are minimal who knows what will happen.

Take it as a good sign and run with it, Riley. Go get it!
