Longest Training Run - CHECK!!!

20 miler done - no prob! Click here to see the awesomeness that is 20 miles > TWENTY

Okay - I was sore and felt like throwing up the rest of the day. But after that I felt great! During the run it felt great! I feel like I am going to be able to do this. I am getting in very few weekday runs - only like 2 - but my IT band acts up and I think this is the best way to go in with the least amount of pain and injury as possible. So this weekend is an 18 miler and then I am on a very steep decline until race day. YEAH!

SUPER DEPRESSING...the fact that I have run over 400 miles training for this event and haven't dropped a single pound! I will have to start the diet on October 5th. Missing 4 weeks of training due to injury

SUPER EXCITING...the marathon is only 25 days away! And after this Saturday my longest run will only be 12 miles.

LOOKING FORWARD TO...seeing my boys at the finish line, a beer at the finish line, a day of eating whatever I want, and being able to proudly say that I am a marathoner.
