With mixed emotions... today was my last "long run" before the big race in two weeks. I am happy because the torture is almost over. I am excited because I can't wait to get to my favorite city and have all my training pay off. I am also nervous because now I have two weeks to second guess all my preparation, just like in school with test anxiety.
My crew is set...Dad and Linda will be tracking me via phone. Steph has to make sure I carbo load the night before, get up the next morning, and then stumble out of her apartment and bring me pizza.
For the next two weeks my focus is to get rid of this chect congestion, stay injury free, run to keep muscles lose, eat and sleep in Hawaii.
My final thought before I sign off is actually a BIG THANK YOU!
Many thanks go out to the Pasadena Snails for coaching, pushing and encouraging me. Everyone that has ever taken a step with me has made an impact in some way.
A very SPECIAL THANK YOU FOR PATTI & ELLEN!
Ellen has been my shining star and weekday partner. Thanks for forcing me to run when I didnt want to and making me faster.
Patti is the best long run buddy. Never thought a trojan and cal bear would get along so well. Thanks for the Sunday "strolls" the good, the bad and the UGLY. Most important thanks for my care package that will travel to Chi-Town and for always waiting for me during my pee-breaks.
Cheers for now...next entry will probably be from a marathon finisher!
