The Countdown

is 14 days until I run in the marathon! I ran 24 miles today so I could be fairly certain that I can run the 26.2. It "felt" awful. Somewhere around mile 15, I realized I forgot the painkillers. Around mile 19, I would have sold my birthright for them. Still, I am mostly excited about the race save for Mt. Allen Parkway- that seemingly limitless hill at the end of the race.

it's going to be great! you're going to love/hate it so much! don't worry so much about allen parkway. worry more about the monster on westpark around mile 16. where do you want me to be to cheer you on? i know after mile 21 you don't want to see anyone b/c you'll be cussing too loudly but maybe mile 13 and the finish?
