Oh boy, I did it to myself again. I signed up for another 1/2 marathon for TOMORROW! My first was in 05/10 which was harder than I thought it would be. I had one of those bad running days with side cramps, hip pain, very hot weather, lots of walk breaks, but finished in 2 hrs and 27 min which wasn't bad for my first time.

I ran an 11.5 mile race in 09/11 which was GREAT! I had a great run all the way through, only stopping at water stations. No problems, no issues.

Then this Sunday, 10/23 I ran another 11 miles as a test run and that one was great too. But I have had many bad run days in between and only averaged about 8 miles on the long run days.

Fingers crossed that I will finish the race tomorrow! And hopefully I can beat my first race time by at least a couple of minutes!

So nervous already!

    Good luck!! You can do it and didn't let fear hold you back. That's a good place to start.

    Think positive, it's the only way.
