Looking at a calendar today, I realized there are 14 weeks until my date with 26.2. YIKES! Training has been going well but I am feeling some exhaustion on the legs. My theory is I rather feel tired now and not on race day! Onward!
So this week had me covering 12 miles of which a good friend met with me to do the last 4.5. She was recovering from a toe injury and is on the mend. She was kind enough to meet me at my mile 7.5 even though that meant she had to run in hotter weather. THANK YOU AGAIN! Anyhow, we took off and about 2 miles into the run, I looked down and became aware of a runner's worst nightmare. I forgot to restart my Garmin. I do believe that all runners within 5 miles of me heard my initial "OH F%$#!!!!!" followed by more cursing as I kept venting my anger that I couldn't track my mileage. Another great thing about a running body - she didn't forget to start her Garmin. She calmed me down and on we went. It's amazing what a good running buddy can do. Those last 4.5 miles were the nicest one of the entire run due to some great company, good laughs and a wonderful rain shower that really cooled me off when I needed it most, mile 10. Running friends are blessings.
Next week - 14! So that makes me more anxious and nervous as it will be the first time I pass 13.1 and move onward. Wish me luck!
