"Don't live down to expectations. Go out there and do something remarkable." - Wendy Wasserstein
Wow.. only 26 days and $809 to go. I can totally do this!
Something I read yesterday, which I think I'm starting to fall into now, is panic-mode. I'm starting to freak out with this 20 mile run coming up, with what I put in my body, with every single step I take--just putting all of these thoughts in my my head. What if something happens?! What if I miss that stair and twist an ankle?! What if I don't hydrate enough or too much? What if I don't get enough rest?
What if what if what if?????
Maybe if I already had a marathon under my belt and the confidence that I'll be ok and I'll finish I wouldn't be playing these mental games with myself. Deep down, I know I have it in me to do 26.2 miles, I mean, it's been in my head that I will since November. But you never know... you never know... That's why Katharine and I have decided not to jinx ourselves by buying the marathon jackets, but you know that will be the first $90 I spend as soon as I cross that finish line!
Today was just a cross-training day, so I put in 45 minutes/500 calories on the Arc Trainer while I caught up on my entertainment gossip, then came home and made myself a nice little chicken/asparagus/whole wheat pasta dish. It was quite nice!
I have to say, as much as I try to show my appreciation for everyone's donations as much as possible, I can't express enough the gratitude I feel for everyone who has been supporting and believing in me, this cause, and this race. It means the world to me that I have so many people behind me that want me to succeed :)
