Incredible two years....

4 miles on the schedule.....4 miles?  Yes, 4 miles.  That's what I did today.  I'm into tapering and it's feeling good!  It seems weird to stop at 4 though.  I do, however, remember my first run almost two years ago of two house lengths!  Haha!

---------------------------

If you were to ask me two years ago if I wanted to run a marathon, I would have given this look to you:

May 2009 - It's really me!

Then I probably would have sat down and did exactly what I doing here and laughed my butt off.  Laughing would have been the only way I was going to get rid of my butt at that time because I certainly was not going to exercise to do it.  Haha!

May 2009

I think I see a beer theme going on here?  Well, now if you had asked me a year ago, I might have laughed because I was only doing my first 10k seen below:

May 2010

But I would have have thought about it.  Actually, I still probably would have thought you were crazy but it would be in the back of my mind.

So now, with only about 25 miles to go, over 60 pounds lost, changed eating habits, thousands of miles run, hundreds of hours of time taken up, months of early mornings and beerless evenings, lots of Saturday morning long runs with my running buddy, and 13 races run including three half marathons......THE big one...the Full.....26.2 will be here!!!!!

April 2011

......and I'm still thinking....Am I'm crazy?

BUT....at least I'm a crazy runner who has trained well(?) for the race.  I'll have run over 625 miles this year by the time the race starts on May 28th and I hope that gave me what I needed to meet my goals.  It's out of my hands now.  It's been an unbelievable two years and the next 11 days I'll be busting at the seems except this time it will be in excitement, not because my clothes don't fit!

Have a great day and.......Keep Running!!!!!!
