I can't help but think about the first marathon I did 10 years ago(Holy crap I'm getting old!!) and how I felt the Thursday before, doing the exact same distance as today. Hella bad, that's how I felt. From the first step I took I felt the energy being sucked right out of me and my brain could not comprehend the 26.2 miles I was setting myself up to run. "3 miles, 3 measly miles, that's all. If I can't get through this without breathing irratically and with lead legs that don't want to move, how in the #@(]<! ... #@%&*)^% am I gonna handle this." I was with my sister and she was feeling the same way. It was #1 for both of us and we both started to kinda freak out at how horrible we felt. Needless to say I was raw and nervous.
Not today. I was a bit tired but I felt pretty good. I can tell I'm better conditioned-- physically and mentally. I'm confident but know it will still be a challenge. I'll push through and do my best that day.
