It is so hard to believe that this time next week I'll be picking up my packet and getting ready for the Disney Marathon!! This has been an amazing experience so far. I never thought I'd ever do something like this, and here I am, nine days away from the big day! I just hope and pray that God gets all the glory for this one because I know I never would have made it this far without Him. Now I just need cooperative weather, a big boost of confidence, and peace that surpasses all understanding because I'm beginning to get nervous about this thing...
I got my "Final Information" e-mail for the Marathon and I guess the realization of it being upon me overwhelmed me a bit. That, and finding out I have to be up at 3am (which will feel like 2 am CST), on a bus no later than 4 am, and in my corral by 5 am made me realize this may be harder than I imagined. I just have to trust that all of my training will come into play, a great song list will get me through it, and know that it's mostly a mental thing to get me to the finish line. I've survived 20 miles, and that was around scenery I've been looking at over the past 5 months. I know I can make it to 26.2 miles in one of my favorite places in the world (besides "The Swamp").
On a good note, I ran my last "long run" before the race today. It was only 6 miles, and I knocked it out in 1 hour 13 minutes--a personal best! I think that was just the thing to end on before I head out to FL next week. I admit it--I may be more excited about 4 days without the boys, but I want to make sure I make them proud with my accomplishment and honor Kylee's memory the best I can.
Until next time...
