Here we go again. I had a crazy idea to run another race and now we are 4 days away and I am panicking! I completed my first 1/2 marathon 13.1 miles in May which was a HUGE accomplishment for me since I was never a runner. My time was slow, 2 hrs, 29 min for the 1/2 marathon but I finished and got a medal! So now I felt like I needed yet another challenge on Sunday. The good thing is, its only 11.5 miles but that will still be a very big challenge for me. Since the 1/2 marathon in May I have only had a handful of long 10 mile runs (the most recent 2 weeks ago), but most of my long runs have averaged more like 6-8 miles. Hopefully I can find the strength on Sunday to get through this. The race is on 9/11 and money is going to support Military Families. It is such a good cause on such an important date for the U.S. that I feel like the least I can do is run 11.5 miles! Hopefully!
