So there is one week to the race. This morning we completed the full 13.1 miles:) It felt great but now I have to admit I am tired. But I think that should be expected. I am VERY excited about running my first real race since the 3rd grade. I placed third in a 5k back then :)
In other news, school is awesome! My teachers kick ass, and they are funny and laid back. One of my professors doesn't even give an tests or quizzes :) Also, it must be the money but the seats in grad school WAY outshine the seating arrangements in undergrad.
I am finally am starting to feel like life doesn't suck that much. I totally love running and the fact that I have some people who want to run with me. It has been really nice have family over almost every weekend. I guess I just needed some major people time instead of wallowing in my pit of despair. Of course there are moments where I still hate myself but trying to get past those. Running really has helped a lot with feeling good about myself and life in general. It really does allow you to dig deep and realize that when you put your mind to it you can accomplish almost anything. :)
Good luck to all you runners out there. If you want to come see me, the marathon is in Virginia Beach. Meet you at the finish line!
I really wish I could be at the finish line cheering you guys on! I would be there if I weren't going out of town. Good luck with it...I know you will all do great:)
