The half marathon is now 2 days away. I'm looking for words of wisdom/advice/inspiration to take with me on this run. At this point it may be more of a mental struggle than anything.

My training didn't exactly go as planned. I wanted to get up to 11 or 12 miles but life got in the way and the highest I did was 10 and that was a few weeks ago so I feel under prepared for this. I do however have my energy drinks and ShotBloks ready to go into my super sexy fanny pack belt thingy. I got new moisture wicking knee length pants made for running that are really comfy and don't ride to chafe. Lucky me I haven't had those issues at all. I bought some new sports bras and shirts so I have proper workout gear for this now and I've just gotten my good shoes broken in.

I'm still scared shitless of doing this run, especially alone, but god damn it I will cross that finish line if I have to crawl. I really hope I don't have to though.

Funny training story. If you run you know sometimes you just have to go to the bathroom while you're running long distances. I do a circuit near my house in case this happens or in case I hurt myself so it's never too far back home. I was running back past my house and felt like maybe I needed to stop. I thought I could make it a bit farther though so I kept going. By the time I got about 3 miles from my house I really had to go. I use my phone to track my pace and route and all that so I puled it out and texted my ex husband since I was almost to his street. He thought it was funny but said he was home and I could use his bathroom. He really is a good guy but he says he'll probably never try running with me. Can't blame him.

When I was a kid I was hit by a car and my knee was all that really got damaged. The doctors told me it would never be as strong as it would be had the accident never happened and the best thing I could do for it is keep the surrounding muscles strong through exercise. I've had to wear a brace for anything over about 4 miles but my knee and the rest of me have held up surprisingly well to the strain.

My pace when I started was about a 10 minute mile and the farthest I had ever gone was 5 miles. Now I'm averaging just over 9 so I've done pretty well with what I've got. After this I'll probably take a few days off to rest and hang out with my parents and then start training for a 5k I'm doing in August. I want to run that one for speed. I just can't sit still.

Wish me luck!
