Half Marathon Countdown

I can't believe that I am running a Half Marathon in 5 days! FIVE DAYS!!!! Oh my goodness!!! Even though this is not my first one I still a nervous wreck! I haven't been following any training program for this half I have just been running when I can and trying to get long runs in on Saturdays. Well for the past 3 weekends I was unable to get long runs in and I was feeling down about the half marathon that maybe I wasn't ready.

So this Friday morning I set out on a mission to run 10 miles. It took me about 5 miles to boost my confidence and get into my running grove but I am so happy I forced myself to do that run. It was exactly what I needed to boost my running confidence and prove to myself that I AM ready for this half marathon!!!!

 

I am about 5 minutes slower on this 10 mile run than the 10 miles I did before my last half marathon, so I am not expecting to PR on this one and I am okay with that. My goal this time is just to get through it without stopping and not let my mind talk me out of this one. I can do it!!! We shall see what happens in 5 days ahhhhhhh!!!!

 

I have been crazy busy (whats new right?!) so I am far behind on all my favorite blog readings! I am hoping after this half that things will settle down since the school year is coming to an end and I won't be running around like a chicken with it's head cut off! I miss y'all and hope y'all are having a FITtastic week getting ready for summer to kick off!!!!
