So I’m sneaking in this post from work (totally supposed to be working, but my student’s are all taken care of for the moment).

I wanted to say happy Friday and that Red is coming here this evening so we can run our 22.5 miler together tomorrow. I’m nervous. Shocking, I know. I just can’t help but get all nervous before these long runs. I’m like Lloyd before a bath! I have to tell myself that I have run two marathons before and a few long runs prior to old wonky’s flare up.

I’m going to do some positive visualizing this evening before my sleep aid kicks in and hopefully I’ll wake up with the “I’ma kick some 22.5 booty!” attitude that I need.

I may also play the theme song from Rocky on a loop on my way to the run start. That or this one. Heh.

Happy Friday homies. Deuces!

    I always try to be sneaky at work too….checking out blogs every now and then:) I am sure that your 22.5 miler is going to be fine and you will do great! Stay positive and keep moving! Happy Friday!!

    Good luck tomorrow and have fun! I'm sure you two will help each other through the long run. Just think of how many of us 'northerners' are jealous that you are able to do such long runs outside now! It's too cold here to even run 5 miles outside!

    Hope it all goes well!

    YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! It is only a mind game, right? My legs go numb after mile 18.

    Good luck with the 22.5-er tomorrow! It is totally a mind game. AND, if you can do a 22.5-er in training, the marathon with all the race adrenaline will feel like cake!

    You should either be done or pretty close to done by now. Hope the run was great!
