Excited for Saturday!

Hi all,

I can hardly wait for Saturday! Not so much for the running, but to finish and to be able to say that I've done a half marathon! Can ya'll believe we are actually doing this? I still cannot!

Saturday's "short" run was awesome! What a nice break only 6 miles was. But I made a mistake. I ran the 2nd half with Cookie and Donna and they are FAST!!!!! I did not run my own race, I ran theirs, and it was tough, tough, tough. I couldn't catch my breath and I was exhausted afterwards! Thank you Cookie and Donna for pulling me, but I cannot keep up! You guys are awesome!

I didn't run yesterday (I have a fat knee right now) so I did my 55 minutes this morning. It started raining just as I was heading out to the track so I turned around and went to the crappy treadmill in my crappy apartment gym. It just wasn't the same and I didn't feel like I was getting a good workout, so I kicked up the speed some and that helped. I missed being outside though.

Have a great week everyone. See ya at the starting line!

I've only had the chance to do 30 minutes this week. I'm hoping the rest will do me good for Saturday!
