I'm just chilling at work drinking water when I suddenly realize that in 32 hours I'm going to be running my first half marathon! By the time I got around to finishing this blog post, it's 26 hours.
And then I got really, really nervous.
I'm really only trying to finish, not expecting some fantastic time to brag about. That's for another race. And the weather is looking perfect.
Now I just need to clear my head from the week's landlord drama, keep drinking water and give the knee some TLC.
Last minute reminders
1. Start slow and ignore the sprinters.
2. Drink water at every aid station.
3. Remember I am stronger than I think I am.
4. There are bananas and beer at the finish line.
Best of luck to you. Can't wait to see how you did!
