I can't believe that a week from today, I will be in San Francisco preparing for my first marathon. I feel like I have been training forever... yet, this day has come so much faster than I had anticipated! I'm ready! I've followed the training program, overcome my first injury and am ready to RUN 26.2 miles!!! I feel good and am so excited and nervous at the same time. I've been having dreams that I arrive at the starting line without my shoes, line up at the finish instead of the start, etc. I don't anticipate having any of those issues come race day:)
We had our kick-off party last Tuesday. It was great getting to spend time with everyone outside of the Long Beach or Bolsa Chica bike path. The best part... ALYSSA and her family was able to join us. She looks great and is doing much better! She was even up and trying to walk. She is such an angel and I am forever changed to have met her.
Tomorrow we'll have our last training run. It will be a short 6 miler followed by two short 40 minute runs the following week. Friday I'm off to San Francisco. Saturday night we have our pasta party and Sunday morning the race begins followed by a victory party! I'm so excited. Brandon, Tyler, my mom and my dad will be cheering me on. I really do have the best support system ever! I am very grateful!!!
Not sure if I'll get the chance to post again before the race. I'll definitely be sure to update after the run. I'll let you all know how each and every of the 26.2 miles went ;-)
Wish me luck...
