So yesterday marked the 30 day countdown. Wow....30 more days and I'll running a marathon. I'm really excited and can't wait. Actually, I'm getting kind of bored with the training and am really anxious to get the marathon underway. We'll see if I maintain that attitude as the marathon gets closer. I'm also a little nervous. As I've mentioned before, I'm not one to do things halfway. So when I decided to run a race, why not pick the hardest one. Most folks would have probably started off with a 5k...maybe a 10k. Not me, I decided to run a marathon as my first competitive race. Because of that, I'm a little nervous. But, as always, I'll get through :)
I ran 8 miles yesterday and will do 5 today. Then the big one on Saturday. 20 miles. Whew!!! I can't wait.
Cheers!!!

Nerves and total paranoia will pass through during taper, but the excitement of a first marathon...nothing can take that away!
I've been trying different things while running to fight off being bored. One thing that's strangely working is not looking at my watch for a while. It gets focus of time and speed and how much longer you have to run. It is actually making the runs go a lot faster. Enjoy this last month! I'll be in touch on email soon.
