NYC Marathon coming up! Training is in the bank. Butterflies?

Happy to finish final weekend of training. It was so cold and windy. I hope Sunday's weather will be better.  I kicked tushie running my 10.5, thinking if I can hold that pace (avg 9:15), I would be thrilled! However, my hamstring is acting up and so is my lower back, SOOOO, I'll hold back well..... maybe a little:).

Love this pic. of all the runners going by the water station.
SET YOUR PACE.....what I great statement that I wanted to share. This pic. was in last month's SELF magazine.  Thank you everyone for leaving me comments. I haven't been very good about blogging, so I appreciate your messages.



A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who donated to HOLE IN THE WALL, fed me, made me cookies, listened to me moan and groan, ran with me, provided me with encouragement, and just let me know you were there when I was feeling down. Thank you mom and dad.....thank you Brian.

Training for a marathon doesn't only take you on a physical journey, but an emotional one too. It's a roller coaster ride that has thrills and spills. It's such mental game and the courage to say, I will do this even when fear tries to block your way. Scared, but ready!
