Total Distance

4.50

Had a great morning out with "the Heidi's" this morning for my last official run before the marathon. Isn't that weird? Tyler volunteered 'again" to take the early shift (yes, I know he is good to me) so he woke up and went out at about 5:30 so that I could go at 6:30. However, after he left, I laid in bed wide awake with thoughts of the marathon. My nerves are really starting to settle in. Not a good time for this beings that this should be the time that I am eating good and hydrating myself and instead I find myself not eating (due to loss of appetite) and feeling dehydrated. I think it may be the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY that I may have to force myself to eat, what would be the odds?? I was just asking Kelli (fellow FRB'er) why couldn't this happen during Thanksgiving or Christmas?? Wouldn't that be nice?? In any event, it is an exciting time that only comes around a few times in a lifetime, so I really need to start enjoying it!!

Motto/thought for the day: Just enjoy this time because it only comes around a few times in a lifetime.

We leave tomorrow to head down to St. George, eeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkk!!!! (Yes, I am screaming out loud as I type this :)).

Didn't even check my average pace today but I felt strong and we did a lot of hills too, so it was great!!! Thanks Heidi and Heidi for helping me out so much over these past few months. I have truly enjoyed getting to know you both better and seeing your improvements with running. I look forward to several more years of running with each other. I hope everyone has a great day and I look forward to seeing you all down in St. George. Here we come !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marion, I just wanted to drop a quick Thank you for being such a sweetie and so motivating. You are great and I really appreciate you taking the time to get on here and boost us all up!! Plus, it's also nice to know that you are handling things here on the homefront while we are away!! Luck would have it, temperatures aren't supposed to be all that bad afterall, so I think we will make it (I guess I should have said, Hope we will make it :). Thanks again for everything Marion. Talk to you soon~

Hey Kelli, it was good meeting you and your husband at the party last night. We need to try and do these get togethers more often. Wasnt Sashas drunken dance the best!? My daughters were blown away at him when he put avocado and chunks of garlic on whole wheat bread. I looked at my 6 year old daughter and she was grabbing misty's hair and said I need to smell your hair, that guys sandwich stinks. lol
