12 days and counting

I have only 12 days left before I run the Long Beach Marathon. I am really excited and cannot wait for that day to be here. I am also a little nervous, because I have a huge goal I hope to accomplish, but at the same time I don't want to be too disappointed it I don't reach it. I would like to qualify for Boston, which means I need to finish in under 3 hours and 41 minutes. I have been training faster this time and I think I can do it if I have a good day, but you never really know how you are going to feel until the day arrives, so I really hope I feel great and I hope adrenaline kicks in and helps me run faster. I cannot wait for a fun girls trip and hopefully a great Marathon.

that is an amazing goal, karen! I hope you have a great day where your body feels great and you're in a good mental frame of mind to enjoy your run and push yourself. if, however, you don't have a stellar day, be comletely proud of the fact that you completed a marathon and that you are in terrific shape! can't wait to hear about it!
