Ready or not, here I come. I am 12 days out from my first marathon. I have in some sort of way been preparing my mind and/or body for this for over a year. Charleston Marathon I am on my way!
I am not going to lie and say that I am as ready as I will ever be, because I am not. I could have trained more but, I am a wife and mother first. Life happens and logging all of the runs that my plan called for just didn't happen. I do not think I will finish in near the time that I initially set out to do but, I am confident that I WILL FINISH and I WILL HAVE FUN. At this point I will say that I believe this will not be my first and last marathon. I have enjoyed my training for the most part. The training I did was a plan that I downloaded from Marathon Nation . I felt like the plan was totally doable and didn't take me away from my family for hours on end. I will say that I have had to tweak the plan the last month or so due to life =) .
In the last month, I have teamed up with a long time friend for runs. She is doing the half marathon of this race. She has really done a great job! I am not sure if we have enjoyed our running together in itself, or 2 + hours of adult conversation the most. Now, we are looking forward to a little retail therapy along with our marathon weekend.
Any advice for my final 12 days?
Anyone else running the Charleston Marathon?
