T minus 5 days, 19 hrs

I'm sitting here at my desk, listening to my AC and wishing it were the rain. Actually, I'm thankful for the AC, b/c last week and like many weeks b4 it was like a sauna in here. UGH! thanks to good staff, they fixed it! woo!

But I sit here, knowing that next week, this very moment, I would have, God Willing, finished my first Half Marathon. I learned, according to my PA cousin, that our bodies shouldn't be running that far, or at least 26.2 miles. I'm running half that, and I know that if my mind can run it, and my legs and lungs are willing - I'll touch ribbon. Big goal is that I'm going to finish. It doesn't matter if I have to take little breaks but in reality, I'm going to need it. Turtle pace, smiling (mostly) and I'll get there.

We'll all get there. Whatever race you're running, go at your own pace, speed it up when you are ready and and knock it out.

Keepin' it simple, (or at least doing my best)
