pre race jitters

I don't know why, even after 4 marathons I still feel so unprepared. It drives me batty!! I feel so dumb when I step outside of myself and look in. I know I will be ok. I know I can do it yet it gets to me. that little voice tells me I'm no good and I can't do it. Well guess what I CAN do it! I WILL do it!! This little person inside of me is wrong!!!


oh and ALWAYS before my Sciatic nerve hurts :( I have 6 weeks and it is already acting up! boo

where has the time gone!

I guess an update is in order.
Utah Valley did not go as planned! Don and I stuck together but at about 12 Don's IT band acted up. HE barely made it across the finish. About mile 23 I had had enough of him and him of me so I went off and finished. The course was nice but I didn't like running on the highway 80% of the race.

Ragnar-WB I was totally burned out. I should have skipped it all together! Ragnar was the week after UVM. I had 21 miles. might as well been another marathon. Our team name was Harold's Angels. I think that in itself needs a post of it's own. so look for that soon. The next week we had a fun little 5k with all the kids. and then we fast forward to now... August 2nd. I pretty much took July off. I ran a few times but I was totally burned out and as for the marathonn maniac? I have been completely broke so it sits in my email waiting for me to get a little extra $$ I really want a tank too so I am waiting.
Friday, as in tomorrow, I am running a half marathon. The moonlight half. I won't have a watch. I am a lot slower than before so I have no idea when to start. I have tried over the past two weeks to get my butt moving. I am up to running 2-3 times a week instead of once every 10 days lol.
Anna is flying in tonight to do the half with me. I think she will like it!
