Only Days Away

The marathon is almost hear! That also means…VACATION! I am so excited to be able to go run and visit my friends. I feel somewhat ready for this race, but I did not train as hard as I did for the last one. This training was somewhere in between my first program and my second one. My training runs also tended to be a little rougher this go around. I think my body was just tired from everything that we did this summer. No matter what though, I am ready to run and be done! I know I can make it across the line, I just haven’t decided on a goal. I have been running hills, but I just don’t think I am ready for a PR. Maybe I can at least beat my Portland time again. We will see. I will be happy with whatever happens. Check out the race course map and think of me as I am out there running for hours on Sunday morning. It starts at 7:00 a.m. Pacific. Look at those hills in the elevation chart! What is 300 feet anyways?? Also, think of Brent alone in San Francisco trying to cheer me on! I think we will buy him a spectator bus ticket that will take him around to different spots to cheer me on. I can’t wait for the views! Be looking for my survival post on Sunday or Monday!
