i'm scared
its a little after 5am. i've been up for a little over half an hour. i already changed socks and i never change socks.
i'm running 22 miles in about an hour. 22 miles. and i thought i was ready, and i didnt think i'd be nervous, but ya know what? i am nervous. i'm ---queasy can't quite choke down an entire banana have tied and re-tied my laces several times keep needing to go the bathroom can't stop my leg from jumping up and down--- nervous.
its cold out, so i have a headband thing on to cover my ears. i've never run with a headband thing but my ears are really sensitive, so this has me nervous. i can't find the shirt i always run in, but its a tank top so it doesnt make sense to run in it, so i have on this other shirt i've been running in lately, but that has me nervous. i cant remember what i normally eat in the morning so i had a banana but it felt gross in my mouth so i didnt eat the whole thing and that has me nervous. i'm running in my first pair of running shoes because those are what i want to run the marathon in but i bought new ones and i'm wondering if i'm being too nostalgic about the shoes and that has me nervous.
and its 5:19 now and i gotta go but i'm still just sitting here...
ok. time to get up off my ass and go do this.
i'm about to run 22 miles you guys.... i think i might cry. omg. i'm such a girl.

good luck!
now I feel guilty for sleeping until 7:30 and then running just 6.5 miles. I needed to do a long run (3 hours plus) but I'm doing a 10-mile race tomorrow. I hope it went well.

oops. that didn't work like i thought it should have =|
i don't know how runners do it. just seems crazy to me. but here's how i go about riding 100+ miles: i try not to think of it as this huge feat of exertion. instead, i look at it as time spent. and what am i gonna do afterwards, etc. "5 hours? hmm..what's for lunch today?"
kick some butt. hope you're doing(probably already did) well.
hope it went well. maybe if you get all the nervous done before marathon day, you'll be calm when it counts...
