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
12.00

Started running at 5:30, ran 5 with Stac and then went a different direction. She was in more of a hurry to get back home to the kids then I was. Scott was here to get them off to school so I just went my regular pace for a long run and tried to enjoy it. I ran up 10000 S. along Granite Park and down 9400s. back to 2300 E and then back the way we started down Newcastle back home. Good run, had bathroom issues at the end again. It must have been all the yummy garden food my sis-in-law brought me yesterday. Kept thinking about the marathon, and every time I did, I would feel my heart sink. So I would talk myself down. I'm such a spaz. I dreamt last night that I stopped in the middle of the marathon and took a nap and ate lunch and then started again. It took me like 7 hours but I was just trying to make it last as long as I could bc I knew I wouldn't be doing another one ever. So, the marathon  is not consuming me or anything..Anyway, happy running to you.

That sounds like a good strategy for finishing the marathon. I could meet you at mile 14 with a cot and a Subway sandwich. Really nice mileage today!

Maybe just bring me some speed and a kleenex to cry into. {I mean the literal pill speed}

From Stacie on Fri, Sep 03, 2010 at 14:10:55 from 174.52.21.251

What a hilarious dream! It's kind of like that lady I read about who ran her own marathon and had a picture of herself eating a sandwich during it. Huh? JD's plan sounds good to me. Lys! Stop worrying. You'll be fine. Just take it easy and think of it as one of those longs runs I know you love to do.

From Lysa on Fri, Sep 03, 2010 at 14:22:49 from 174.52.25.64

I'm trying. I really am. I want to enjoy it like a long run. So why won't my mind let me?

From Lysa on Fri, Sep 03, 2010 at 14:24:30 from 174.52.25.64

you don't have to answer that. I know I'm a broken record. I don't mean to be.

From JD on Fri, Sep 03, 2010 at 17:07:00 from 70.96.78.157

Even experienced runners get anxious before a race. But the first marathon is an exceptional experience, and getting worked up for it is all part of the fun. Enjoy the anxiety!

From Lysa on Fri, Sep 03, 2010 at 17:41:59 from 174.52.25.64

I will be ONE with the anxiety. Embrace it. And enjoy it. It will all be worth it.

From Kelli on Sat, Sep 04, 2010 at 13:30:06 from 71.219.102.155

I have anxiety EVERY race---no matter the distance! I actually think it helps me (as long as i can control the nausea). Even if it is not cold, I shiver and shake like a spaz until I get running. I just figure I am burning calories!

You will do great! Glad you enjoyed your long run and had the JOY of not being in a hurry! I love Fridays for the same reason---my Scott is at home and can help out with the kids.

JD, can I request a shake at mile 14 since you have to be there with the cot and sandwich anyway?
