So the marathon is NEXT Sunday, and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. My training has been harder this time around… partially, I think, because my body knows what it’s in for, and because it is summer, and life is a lot less structured.  

I am hoping that I can make it through– with a little help from some cheering family and friends… (hint: cheer loudly, switch locations often, and take pictures!) Hopefully this race will be a great one.  I am looking forward to seeing how this race will play out, mentally.  It is as intense in your mind as it is on your body.  I am convinced that this race is more about how my mind can handle it, and less of how my body can. (said as I cross my fingers and hope my IT bands hold up.)

SF ‘08, Here We Come!!!
