Ok, so in 8 days I will be running the half. EIGHT DAYS. I am at the point of just wanting it all to be over with. I really am. The build up to this is CRAZY....I just want to have my normal life back again! Every day I wake up thinking: am I ready for this? Did I get enough miles in this week? How does my body feel? Am I doing enough?

Today was our last long run before the race. We will be tapering all this week; meaning running very little throughout the week so our legs are strong and ready to go next Sunday. I achieved a personal best today 11 1/2 miles....E-L-E-V-E-N- AND O-N-E H-A-L-F MILES PEOPLE!!!

Granted, I felt those miles....and now am completely freaked out thinking can I do another mile and a half? It was quite a struggle for me today. My GU didn't have the same effects like it did the last time I used it. I felt tired most of the time.....and I felt hurried because my kids were in child watch and we only have a 2 hour time limit....combine that with the fact that immediately following my run the kids each had a soccer game one after the other. I was preoccupied with that. BUT I got it done....and am somewhat glad I did, but now worry if this old body can handle another mile and a half. It doesn't seem like much, but when you've already run 11 1/2, another mile and a half is very daunting.

ANYWAY that's my update. This week will be somewhat chill for me. I just want to relax and rest up for the big day. (hopefully these nerves will go away too)
