The countdown begins...I have only 4 days left till my 1/2 marathon...I have all the nervous jitters, the anxiety, racking my brain...can i really do this??? Have I trained long enough??
This last week of training thinking, why can't i run 10 or 12 miles this short distance crap is throwing me so off! I do so much better if I don't think about it and just run run run! It has been a huge sacrifice on me and my family! I have been training for over 6 months now and thanks to my hubby and close friends who have help me out so many times to get me to this long time goal that i have had for years!
I honestly feel great and have found a LOVE for long distance running! It therapeutic, it's rewarding and it's a great stress reliever and i always feel so good after I'm done!
I have talked to many of you that have done it and keep me thinking so positive about the whole experience...so thanks to all who keep me motivated to get through it. (I know you know who you are)! Honestly so many times i have wanted to quiet!
I'll keep you all posted on how it goes. know that I'll have a prayer in my heart hoping that I'll cross the FINISH LINE in one piece!

That is great! I am not a runner. I think I need a good pair of running shoes. It hurtsmy back.
Good luck, I have no advice...I am no runner either. I'm sure you'll do great and then have lots of pics about the whole day!
Good Luck...you'll do great. Its just as much mental as physical. Read a runners magazine the night before and get all pumped up!!! GO APRIL!
Good luck April! I think that's so neat! I hate running with a passion..so i admire people that do marathons. It's something I would never do! Now if they had a such a thing as a "dance-a-thon" I'm in! :-)
Good luck April!! You will do awesome! Watch out because once you do it once, you will want to do it again!
We can do it!! (at least that's what I am telling myself) You have been such a great running partner all this time and I don't know what I would do without you!!! I love you dearly and thanks to our families for helping us get to this goal! Keep me in your prayers and I will do the same for you!
Good luck April! I think that's awsome!
I think it's amazing that you are going to do that! I'm not a runner, just can't get into it, but would love to be someday:) Good luck training!
Good Luck and I can't wait to hear all about it.
You sure are one hot mama...those arms look so toned as well! You will do GREAT tomorrow...I can't wait to hear more details!
