I can't believe that tomorrow I will be running 21 miles! And I also can't believe that I am excited about this. I'm also nervous! Feelings of excitement and nervousness are a fun combination. I know it will be challenging and painful at times...but I'm ready for it. I feel ready physically and more importantly I feel ready mentally. We are doing the run at White Rock Lake, which is where the actual marathon will be. I'm excited to get some good training in on parts of the actual course and a change of scenery is always nice.
Sometimes logistics can be a bit stressful - gotta get to the place and not forget anything (definately can't forget my water bottle and NUUN tablet for electrolytes and Shot Blocks for nutrition). Normally, for my group runs in FW I just have to be there by 5:45 and I live like two miles away. Not the case tomorrow. I have to be there by 5:30 in the morning. I'll try to get up at 4:00 am (that's early even for me!!), eat a good breakfast (need that energy!!), and get to the meeting spot by 5:30. We start the run at 6:00. I can't wait! Hopefully my next post will be one of a 21 miler success...
