Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Total Distance
6.00

Got up at 4:30 a.m. to go with some girls in my neighborhood. My body was rebelling big time.  My legs felt tired and heavy, my hips were tight, even my fingertips were pulsating from the blood flowing to them that early. These girls are a little bit faster than me, {not that that is hard to do} And I kept up pretty good with them until we got to a gradual uphill and then I told them to go ahead and I would catch up with them. I didn't have my music bc they are all talkers and I was regretting it on that street but then when we reached the top and had a gradual downhill I was able to talk to them again. I needed to get up this early and let my body know that It has to perform at 7:00 am in a few days, Ive been running at noon for so long that I knew I would need at least one day to prepare my body and mind. Hope it worked! Im getting nervous already about saturday.

You're ready! Woo-hoo! This has got to be the most training you've done for a half isn't it? It's going to be a blast! Aaron and his family are going for 2:20. I bet if you start with them you'll be fresh at 6 miles and finish strong!

Lots of exclamation points, but I'm getting excited.

I thought Aaron would be way faster then that, I told someone that I wanted to be around 2:20 and they said "oh, thats really good for that course!" So I changed it to 2:40. I hate all the jibber jabber, Im such a mental case, I hate hearing anything negative about it. It stresses me. Ive heard "oh that is the funnest course" and Ive heard "oh that course sucks bc you always know where you are and it seems like it takes forever!" STOP IT!! I seriously need to wear ear plugs. Im such a case. YOU are going to kick arse, Im excited to see what time you get.

Aaron could run it faster, but he's running with Rachel and their girls (stroller? wheelchair?) Anyway, he said he would feel lame if he didn't stick with them.

It's going to be fun. Perfect weather lot's of goofy runners together; all shapes, sizes, speeds, etc.
