So I find myself thinking A LOT lately about my upcoming half marathon. I looked at the calender and I only have three Saturday's of training left before my big race. Every time I think about it I get those nervous butterflies and I get anxious. I can already feel adrenaline pumping through my veins just typing this. But what is worse, is that I have a long training run in two days (Saturday) that is 11 miles. I think I am more nervous about this particular run because it is a true test if all my weeks and weeks of training are going to pay off. This will tell me if I will be able to run this half with no real issues.
So why am I blogging about this? Because I get less nervous as I talk about it. And since I am around four kids under the age of 8 basically all the time this is what you get.
Think turtle not hare.

You will do great just remember to run your race and don't try to beat everyone. Oh and I'm telling you try those Jelly Bellys sport beans!
Jelly Belly sport beans??? Man what will they think of next time?
It's 90% mental and 10% phsical if you ask me. You'll do great.
How did the 11 go? I always run the marathon in St. George in the first weekend in Oct. Did your brother do a half. I am not aware of another full that happens in St. George except in oct.
Your Mom said you made your 11 miles. Great job! I definitely envy your ability to run. You know I can't even make it down the street.
