Only 2 more weeks!

Today's run was interesting. The first 4 miles were probably some of the toughest miles ever. I seriously thought about quitting right there and walking back. I just felt so tight and my legs felt like lead weights. But I stuck with it and all of a sudden, it went away. I felt amazing. I started moving a little faster. I was enjoying my run and taking in my surroundings. There were some little kids playing soccer. Seriously there's nothing cuter than really little kids playing soccer. I started feeling really confident about Chicago. Maybe this marathon wouldn't be so bad. Then I got to mile 10. New things started hurting. I really slowed down and barely crawled the last mile. UGH. Krista told me not to worry about having a bad run, but you know me. I'm going to worry. I think the best thing I can take from this run is I'm not at my peak right now. Who knows what's going to happen on marathon day, but things might hurt. (Well I'm running a marathon so I know things will hurt, but they may hurt a little extra too.) I might not make my goal time, and I'm going to try to be ok with that.

The good news is I still got my post run pastry.



This is the last one until the marathon. Only 2 weeks now!

Ok. Time for a nap.
