Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. You're listening to another edition of DiAwa Money. Diwa Money.

What sheke-in-e-howat. What's shaking, eh, how what?

What's shaking with you?

Well, I'm rolling into, I mean, people are sick of hearing this, but I don't really

care.

I'm rolling into the final three weeks of marathon prep.

Yeah, I have a big one tomorrow.

We're cutting this on the 15th of August.

I have a 24-mile run tomorrow, which is abnormal because usually you max out at 20,

but my coach is making sure that I have kind of the horsepower to, you know, carry through the

whole race because I think I have the speed. I think I have all that, the short-term stuff done,

but I got to get the endurance there. So, yeah, then three weeks of taper, back off a little bit. It'll feel like a vacation. I cannot wait. And then the marathon. So this is your last long run? And then you take it the next week? Yeah. I mean, it's my last like 20 plus miler 20 miler i'm sure i'll do some stupid 18

miles or 16 miles but those aren't long anymore they're well they're long it's a short 12

yeah and you know i've already talked about this ad nauseum too dropped the oldest off at college

uh now we're in that weird balance it's like the first date like Like, do I call him? Does he call me?

Like, should I message him?

I don't want to message him too much.

I don't want to be that overbearing parent. You know, so that's a weird, that's a weird that nobody told me about that dynamic. I mean, what do you do you message your kid? Do you set up a normal time to talk on the regular basis, you know? oh, what do you mean by that thumbs up?

Does that mean a good thing?

It's ridiculous.

It's like I'm over analyzing it.
