I never got in the rest of the miles to complete my 9.5 mile run that was scheduled last week; I was too sick. My cough is still pretty nasty, but I am going to run this afternoon. I am planning to do 3 miles today with a short run tomorrow and then go all out for the 11 miles on Tuesday. If I feel like I can do the 11 miles today then I'll go for it, but I will see once I'm on the t'mill. My shorter runs haaaaave to be outside. There are 7 weeks left until my race - SEVEN WEEKS! I simply need to be conditioned for the heat.
I'm starting to also think about what I should wear on race day. Do I want to go fun, Disney? Do I want to just put ribbon in my hair? Do I want to come up with something to pin on myself about my Dad? So many decisions! How do y'all decide what to wear to honor people when you race?
Jack says you should run the whole race in a Darth Vader mask (you can borrow his if you don't have one). While I certainly don't disagree, I think a pin or something to honor your dad and/ or grandmother will bring you peace and reinforce your faith in yourself should it at any point begin to waver. Is there room in your sports bra for a couple of tiny photographs? That's one way to keep 'em close to your heart...
