One month until the marathon, that is!
Last Friday when I ran down to Monroe they had the banners up on the light posts and I smiled while my heart went pitter patter. So excited!
I'm feeling a little nervous about it after my last 20 miler. After talking to one of my friends about it she made sure I don't mentally set myself up for my last 20 miler to be bad before I even start. I need to just let the last one go and move on.
Honestly, my body's been feeling pretty tired. I'm pretty excited for taper time to get a bit of a break before the big day.
I'm excited to exercise in other ways that were put on the back burner during marathon training, as well. Don't get me wrong, I love running. I also enjoy yoga, which I haven't attended a class since before training (sometimes I practice on my own). I also enjoy Richard's Spin Classes. I went to one for the 4th of July, but there's not enough time to run 6 miles and attend his class at 6am. I don't know why you would put yourself through marathon training if you didn't love running. I love it. But I'm excited to mix it up again.
I just signed up for my favorite Saturday volunteer spot again. I'm so excited to hear all about Hector's summer. Oh, the summer of a 7 year old. (Have I mentioned how much I like working with kids?) I'm thinking of applying to be a leader of the site, but haven't taken the steps to actually apply yet... I think I will because I enjoy leading, but it seems the leaders rarely get to actually work with the kids one-on-one, which is what I like most...
I'm excited to get back to volunteering too!
Anyway...
There's a 1/2 marathon this weekend and the weather's supposed to be 72. Can we please have a repeat of that weather on October 7th?
Please?
