little bit anxious here. haven’t slept well for the past few days.

the marathon’s on sunday. (the day after tomorrow...)

i’ve been training for the past 3 months, mostly (loosely?) following a “beginner’s marathon training regime.” i’ve done the long runs (a bunch of 12s, a couple 15s, and a 20), and i’ve been through the aches/soreness/dizziness that come with the territory.

i’m not going to break any speed records (i’ll be lucky to hold down 10 minute miles), and though i’m not overly excited with idea of running for 4-5 hours straight, i am looking forward to finishing. that’s going to be cool.

the thing is, i honestly thought it would be hard to train, but it wasn't that bad. time consuming, very much so. overly difficult, no. it just takes patience. and acceptance- running for 2-3 hours straight every weekend is a LOT of time to yourself. a lot of time for thoughts. many, many, thoughts.

anyways, wish me luck. i guess it’s going to be on TV, so turn it on, pretend to see me, and cheer me on.
