21 plus miles
Yesterday I figure I did 21.16 miles.... today there are 21 days left until the big day. I am SO excited. I know you are sick of hearing about how slow I am, but I guess I maybe am telling myself that for 2 reasons.. 1 is that I AM slow, the other is surely I will do better at the marathon. But I finished my miles yesterday and actully don't feel that bad at all today (sunday). I am getting a little sad about the fact that this experience will all be over in just a few weeks. Thank you to everyone along these 9 months that have listened to me complain and to all of those who have encouraged me and all the others. Like I have said before, we are each running our own race. Enjoy these next few weeks and reflect back on your feelings the day you came to your first Marathon Makeover meeting. We didn't know each other, didn't know each others stories, thought it was all about us and the 26.2. But we have all learned so much more... determination, pain, accomplishments, friendships, hardaches, but we will all have victory on October 7th. Hats off to everyone. Happy training. Ann

Ann,
You may be slow, but remember who won - the tortoise or the hare?
I have also enjoyed getting to know many of you Marathoners, even though I got put on injured waivers early on.
Chicago, look out for the 2007 Mississippi Makeover Marathoners!

Great blog! Can't wait for Chicago and I'm so thankful we've gotten to know each other so well!
Another tortoise here. I am slow too but determined to finish. It's going to be sad not to see everyone after the marathon. This group has become a part of my life in these few months.
Ann, you made some very good points...worrying will not change a thing. I just felt like I had met my limit on Saturday. But you know, our limit keeps changing and we keep on keeping on which is what I will do in Chicago. Thanks for your comments.
