7 days.

By this time next week I will have run a marathon and will probably be laid up in the bed recovering. I am so excited to have that feeling of completing something I never thought I would do, and enjoy doing. It is going to be such a great weekend and I wish all of my friends and family could be there. I will definitely be thinking about how each and every one of you guys has supported me and really helped get me to the starting line. It has been a long and very rewarding journey so far and I can't wait to get to San Francisco on Friday!

I ran my last 10 miles with the team on Saturday. I actually ran the majority of the 10 miles by myself because Katie needed to rest her foot because she is having problems with plantar fascitis too. It was just me and the open road. I really tried to push myself and see how fast I could go in order to see what I could expect myself to do next week. I'm not sure if it was the brightest idea, but mentally it really got me pumped up. I cut about 30 minutes off of my time from last week, and I still felt like I could go some more if I needed to. I also didn't have any pain in my foot, which felt like running on clouds for the first time in over a month. It was such a good run and I can't believe it's going to be my last with the team. Although I am sure I will get together with some of them to run on occasion, it's not going to be all of us. I really can't believe that the time is here and I am really going to run a marathon. 7 days and I will be at the starting line!!
