It's going to be tough, and it's going to suck at times, and the weather report is calling for heavy rain in the morning. Running 26.2 miles in the rain isn't what I had hoped for the past 18 weeks, but I'll take what I'm given and do the best with it that I can!
It's weird to think that 19 months ago I wouldn't even make it up a flight of stairs without being out of breathe. I couldn't run a city block if I was being chased by a bear. I literally did nothing good for my body or well being. And tomorrow I'm going to run 26.2 fricken miles. I was talking to someone a few weeks ago about the marathon. They said "wow, 26 miles is even a long ways to DRIVE let alone run." Dang right it is, and I'm gonna run my heart out.
I think it's something like less than 1% of the population has run a marathon in their life. I don't know what the percentage is for people losing 120 pounds the healthy and realistic way, but I'm sure it's right around that percentage, too. I've learned a lot these past couple years. Not only about myself, but about the human body in general. Our bodies are capable of SO much more than we think and often allow it to do. We get this 1 body for our entire lifetime. I plan on taking my 1 body and pushing it to the limit, testing it, letting it know that it's alive and can accomplish so much with a lot of hard work and determination. The marathon is the ultimate test of the human body, and I can't wait to put myself out there and let the world know that I don't allow any excuses to get in the way of my dreams and accomplishments.
With that said......... SEE YA AT THE FINISH LINE!
