My marathon is a little over a week away, wow these 18 weeks have flown by! This year there have not been nearly as many tears or bad runs. I am so thankful for everyone that has been training with me. I have some amazing people that have supported every step and every mile. Training for a marathon is not easy...actually it is one of the hardest things I have ever done. I thought for sure that this time around it would be easier...not so much! I did know what to expect this time around but as I have pushed myself to a harder training plan and faster runs easy doesn't exist. As I prepare for this race I have to take a moment- breathe and remember why I am running it. I am running it for a few reasons:
1. To prove to myself I can do better than last time - NO PEE BREAKS IN CHINA TOWN!!!
2. Because I never in a million years thought I could...now I can so why not!
3. To overcome that little voice in my head that still says you can't, you will fail, and you're not good enough.
4. To stay healthy
5. For my Cousin Natalie! To help find a cure for Down Syndrome! This is a great cause! Check it out!!!
