Greetings everybody. I write you with exactly 8 weeks to go. In 8 weeks, I will be getting up at some obscene hour, putting on my Dana Farber singlet (don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds- it's only a shirt and not some type of weird onesie for runners), and heading out to the start line. This morning, as I realized it was only 8 weeks away, I started to get very nervous about the whole thing. I can't believe that I talked myself into trying to complete this crazy race. I think what I am looking forward to the most, once the race is over, is that sense of relief; that feeling that I stood in front of my peers, dear friends and family and said that I would complete the race. So, I am hoping this future mental image of how that sense of relief will feel will help me through the next couple of months!
This past week/weekend I have had to put training on hold while I recover from a pretty bad cold/cough. I ran a nominal distance on Saturday and am hoping that the time I took off will help me going forward. I am excited to get back to training and anticipate that I will have to be very diligent for the next two months.
Stay tuned...
