Countdown to the Marathon

That is how I was originally feeling heading towards the marathon. I had anxiety over EVERYTHING concerning it.



I am a little better now. I am feeling more like this:






I still have anxiety, but it's melting. There are still 2 things causing me stress:


1. Can I really make it 26.2 miles?

2. Will my IT band take me down or let me finish?


Only time will tell on these two.

All you can do is give it your best. I have no doubt you will since you know no other way.

Thanks, Michele. The positive thoughts do help. A lot.

Marathon here we come!
If you are in too much pain we can each run a half.
At any rate I will be there rooting for you.
I have a feeling you will be surprised at how well you do.

You will make it. If things blow up then just do more walking. Does your marathon have a time limit that would allow walking. I have always tried to do marathons with time limits that I know I could make just in case something goes way bad. you will rock it though I just know it

Jesse, I like the idea of each of us running half!

I'm not sure that would fly by the officials, though.

Thanks for your vote of confidence, Jason!

The marathon has a 7 hour limit.

I'll run as much as I can.
