Perhaps I am becoming a gym converter after all... Today was supposed to be a rest day, and instead, after basketball, since I was still in my gym clothes I said, why not?! So I went over and did the Arc Trainer for 45 minutes and more ab work. When I can feel myself being a bum, it's easier to walk the 100 feet over to the gym (especially on my own free will, on a REST DAY!) than to go for a chilly night run outdoors. I think I joined at the perfect time!
What seems to be a consistent thought through my head today is how serious this training has become, especially right now. It's literally a way of life, and I'm enjoying it and the challenges to push myself. It helps to have so much encouragement from my coach, my family, my friends that pushes my "mind over body" to be completely confident that, "yeah! I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and run 11 miles in 20 degrees at 8 AM!" When someone asks me if I think I will be able to finish, I answer "YES!" with NO doubts in my mind.

Morning Sammy, Granny just read me several days of your blog and your pace is beyond comprehension. I've been motivated quite a bit over business but never got near the pace you've achieved for the Boston Marathon.
