As another week passes by so quickly, it's hard to believe I am ready for the race this weekend! I can’t believe it is already here, seven days away. As I mentioned in the last post, I have been running a lot, in no particular training regime, but A LOT. Last Saturday I ran 10 miles and felt okay, but I knew I had to run the full 13.3 miles this weekend to prepare and feel ready to run the race. So, I did! All 13.3 and it felt great.
As Lululemon says, I am a runner because I run. I signed up for this race without any idea of how to properly train for something like this. I just run because I love to run. Some days are better than others and I might run 9 instead of 3, but I just like to move. I love the feeling of running, I love the endorphin rush, the runners high, the feeling of accomplishment when I finish that 13 mile mark, and I love to run. I think that is a great lesson for so many. We get so caught up in having to work out a certain way and have a strict diet, but in reality, we all just need to eat healthy and move. Whether it be running, walking, swimming, or taking a cardio class, we just need to move.
I have six more days to train and then the big day so stay tuned!
