Psyching up

Metcheck.com suggests good weather tomorrow, though a bit cold in the morning, with little wind. I'm getting myself psyched up to run without eating beforehand and taking no carbs during the run, just water. Greg McMillan writes:

It's important to remember that feeling tired is what training is about. You receive many benefits in marathon training only after you're tired.

Almost 30 km (18 mi) at a slow, steady pace without any calories except those I can glean from fat should take me to the wall. I'd rather get an idea what that feels like during training than during the marathon.
