"Impossible is nothing." - Adidas
I'm going to try and type this quickly before I head out the door to acupuncture (ahhh...I need it).
As I was driving home from work today the clouds began to roll in and there was even sprinkles on my windshield, and I just thought "greeeeeat....". But then when I got home I was happily surprised to see my OFFICIAL Boston Marathon packet in my mailbox! So, disregarding how quickly I needed to get out the door and do my run, I sat down and started perusing through it. It made me so excited!
Then I finally went outside and the clouds had cleared and it was absolutely beautiful again. I was wearing my tights, a tank, and a long sleeve, and about half a mile in I had to lose the long sleeve. I started off not feeling so great, even though my pace was pretty fast, with cramps which I think were from inhaling a mini bagel with almond butter and a large glass of water beforehand and not letting it settle. The side stitches remained throughout most of the run until about the last mile. My favorite part had to be the last stretch down my street where I was just power sprinting to some Super Mash Brothers and felt great...until I stopped and realized how winded I was.
Anyway, off to acupuncture! I need some time to relax and decompress so it comes at the perfect point today. Tomorrow I have off from work, so I'm hoping to be doing almost nothing all day in preparation for...THE...20...MILE...RUN...
