Tomorrow is the BIG day! I cannot say I am too nervous about the run as much as I am nervous about the logistics and getting there. The Baltimore Running Festival posts many status updates on their facebook site regarding the parking horrors and road closures and the fact that the marathon and relay runners are starting at 8am leaves me with a very small error margin. Already I have begun having anxiety about showing up late or forgetting something. I have downloaded and printed the race handbook which I plan on reading stat and I am hoping the packet pick up this afternoon will also be more informative and help ease my mind about everything. I guess the planner in me is hating the unknown right now. I just hate feeling un prepared.
As for the running part I cannot say with 100% confidence that I am prepared-because really I am not. And by that I mean I didn't get to run 5.7 miles to actually see and know if I can make it or really how long it's going to take me. I am hoping to complete it in an hour but who really knows. I know I can do it but I am pretty sure it's not going to be easy-but that's ok-I like a challenge! I just want to finish and still be able to walk after. The competitive part of me just needs to realize that this is just for fun!
SO...here goes nothing!
You can do it!! I did a half-marathon after the most training I had was running 4 miles straight. Naomi :)
