...I will be a marathoner.
(Thanks Marci for the comment.)
I'm holding that thought with me as I make my way through these hours and days. Sometimes it seems like it will never be Sunday and other times, time seems to be pass too quickly for my liking!
I'm starting to feel more ready. I have done the training and I WILL run the distance. I keep reminding myself that it doesn't matter how fast; this is my first marathon and I want to enjoy the experience. Yes, I want to feel like I gave it my all and I realize that those last 10K are going to be very difficult, but I don't want to be struggling through the entire second half.
My legs are restless this morning and I keep catching myself jiggling them under my desk. I'm nervous, excited and raring to go!
I have lots to look forward to this week, i.e. lots to keep my mind distracted and to keep myself from going insane. Dinner with my best friend tomorrow, lunch with a marathoner-friend on Thursday, Friday off work to chill out with hubby, carbo-loading dinner with friends Friday, meeting some fellow bloggers at the Expo on Saturday and one final carbo-load dinner with friends on Saturday. Funny how most of the plans revolve around food. ;)
