And I am no where near ready. My training has been miserable. Between working 2 jobs, the absolutely dreadful heat and humidity, and my feet hurting from working so much--life has surely gotten in the way.
What does that mean? I might just die when we run not 1, but 2 (yes, TWO) race this weekend! The major one being the Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon! :)
So here is what I am hoping for this weekend coming up. My goals:
#1: First and foremost--I want to have fun! I want to enjoy the races and take them in for all their worth!
#2: I want to walk past the finish line! :)
#3: I want to feel proud that I completed my first ever 13.1 mile race! I am lacking the confidence at the moment. Honestly I feel dreadful about how horrible my training has been. :( Ever since my incredibly horrible dizzy spell in May I have barely gotten any miles in per week.
I just want to have fun. I want to cross the finish line having ran at least 1/2. I honestly don't know that I will be able to run more than 1/2. Since my absolutely horrible training--I just am not sure its feasible. HOWEVER, I know that having my dad by my side pacing me--and just being there--will help A LOT! He truly pushes me to continue. We are going to take it VERY slow--and just enjoy! :) There are bands and pep squads every mile--so it will definitely be an awesome race to run!
The Muddy Buddy race we are just doing for fun. It won't be fast--and it won't be crazy. :) Justin and I are doing this together! I am so excited--Noah (my oldest) will be doing the race with us as well!! (Well, he is doing his own "Mini Muddy Buddy" race!
So there you have it! I am sure I will be back in the next few days blogging in preperation! :) I am starting to really up my hydration to prepare for the race! Although its at 6:30 AM--it is still going to be hot out there! The best way to prevent feeling extremely dehydrated is to hydrate early and really well! :) Bring on the water! :)
