OMG!!! Am I counting correctly?? 18 days until I have to complete 13.1 miles?? Seriously! Maybe that's why my blood pressure went up. I don't know if this is normal but I'm really starting to get nervous and questioning my ability.
Yes, I completed a hellacious 9.32miles (my glutes still tremor when I think about it). Yes, I've been putting in my miles when I can. But being a single-working-mom requires a lot of creativity and flexibility when it comes to my training schedule. Thankfully a friend took my kids for the evening yesterday and I was able to get in an hour. I tracked a 3 mile route but added to it b/c I had extra time. I'm guessing I did maybe 4 miles yesterday.
Gotta say, whatever the outcome of this half marathon, I'm hooked. I made myself stick to a "warm up" pace for my 1st mile and then it's like my legs woke up and I was off to the races. I swear it's the best feeling in the world when your body goes shouts "I WAS MADE TO MOVE SO GET OUTTA MY WAY!!" To top that off, I have the tendency of dancing while I walk, especially if it's a great song. I'm sure it makes for interesting conversation for passing motorists.
Okay, I'm calm now. Onward!!
