Ran a 14 miler today.  Felt very good throughout and my legs and feet did great.  This is my last long run before the marathon.  I wanted to put in another 20 miler but I have been advised that this will probably do more harm than good when it is so close to race day.  In any case I feel like I am ready to tackle the marathon, we'll see.  I used my 1.5 liter Camelbak on this run and it was great.  I hardly noticed it was there.  It made it very easy to stay hydrated and it made it easier for me to open my GU packs since my hands were free.  I had no chaffing and no sloshing from the pack, so i think it is a keeper.  Oh well, here we go.  My next entry will be my race report.  Wish me luck.
