I'm counting down!
Rewind to March 13, 2010.
I had spent the previous 3 months training. Three days before the race I came down with the flu. The morning of the race I woke up and decided to go for it. I ran 13.1 miles. The last 3 miles were harder than I could have imagined. But I finished. And I had an amazing high. After crossing that finish line I told myself that someday I would run a full marathon.
Someday is just around the corner.
Training has begun. I've got 20 weeks to prepare myself for a marathon in Olathe Kansas. I'm giving myself an extra 2 weeks of training in case of illness or whatever else may come up.
Excited? You betcha I am. Nervous? Heck ya. But the nerves tend to go away as soon as I step on the treadmill or road.
Holy hanna, here I go!

Yay! Good luck training. I am running a half in May and so excited. I don't think I will ever do a full...not my cup of tea. But I am super excited for you! Good luck and keep us posted on how you are doing!

That's awesome! I admire those of you who can run and run. I can barely run a mile. =)
