I already know you are. Enjoy this last week and TAKE IT EASY. I know it's so tempting to get out there and run when you feel good, but your body needs the rest. I am sooooo excited about this!

I think so!!! I go between feeling really nervous & really excited!!! I have really tried HARD to rest this week. I cut out lifting weights & am just running easy this week- 4 miles on Tue, 3 miles on Wed, and 2 miles on Thurs. Then nothing until the BIG day!! I've mainly just kept up doing buns/ thighs & ab sculpting, they're good stretching & gentle on my body.

I'm still not sure what pace to run, I'm going to see how I feel & try to take from there. I *always* run faster in races but am really going to hold myself back at the start so I don't run out of steam!!! I'm thinking a good 9:15 pace to start with will be good.

It looks like I'll be running it alone too. Erin isn't sure if she's even going to be able to do it, but she's going to do the half if she's not feeling up to it. And Melissa is running but she said there's no way she's running w/ me because I'm too speedy. And she told me I was gonna kick butt & to save her a spot at the finish line! At least we'll be at the start together though. I'm just hoping to find someone running a similar pace to run with, that will make it much easier. It's a neat course though & I'm familiar w/ the area so that will be fun.

Anyway... I have your phone # programmed in my phone so as soon as I can I'll call to give you the update!!!!

Hugs,
Jess
