19 Days to go

WOW! Does this picture say it all! It is getting down to the wire. The remainder of my runs are extremely important however life seems to really be getting in the way of my energy and training! Up until now I have had no problem squeezing it all in.
Why now? Why with only 3 weeks left?
This week alone I have a birthday picnic, 5 hour road trip to Cincinnati (there and back), Rehearsal dinner, wedding and a brunch! So much for taking some time to enjoy myself. At this point Ill be lucky if I can even have 1 glass of wine.
I really hope when I cross that finish line that I am hit with an overwhelming pride in myself. At least at that moment I will be able to feel as though all of the sacrifice was worth it.

I wont give up, I just wont sleep! :)

22 Mile Run

Alright! So, Saturday I set out to accomplish a 22 mile run. This was to be my last big run before the big day.
At mile 20 I had to take a bathroom break. By the time I got back on the road my legs started cramping and it hurt too much to finish. I ended up running a 21 mile run. I am so disappointed that I couldn't push myself to finish this one! I was so close!
I am keeping my fingers crossed that on the big day the screams from the crowd, the many of other runners, and the encouragement and support from my family and friends will push me through!
Lesson learned: No stopping for a bathroom so close to the end of the run!
5 weeks to go!
