I think I am officially freaking out.

[redsox33]

I wish I had advice, but I don't as I'm just a beginner. But I do want to wish you a successful run and a Happy Patriots' Day! I'll be watching all the excitement on television.

Just qualifying is an amazing acheivment! Just keep it simple, keep a level head, have a game plan and stick to it. I'm no marathoner but I find that works for me with most challanges.

[saef]

I'm impressed that you qualified, and I applaud your effort.

I imagine that running the race must be like going on a trip for vacation. All the preparations beforehand are a pain in the butt & nervous-making. But once you're actually embarked on the trip & in motion, you live in the moment & are happy that you're having that experience. Once you start running, and the pack thins out a bit, your body will overtake your mind & you will probably feel better. You'll just be a body in motion, along for the trip.

And I hope you will come back & report on it (I will want DETAILS) once it's over, because it's a really wonderful thing. It's the sort of thing that goes in people's obits. (Sorry, that probably sounded weird, but you know what I mean.) Like: "Ran in the Boston Marathon in 2010 (& 2011 & 2012 ;-)."

heh heh saef The way I have battled through injury and my sporadic training this might just BE my obit.

And yeah, I think the fact that I had to fly my mom in and finish my taxes before I could start to think has definitely added to my stress. And buy a birthday present for dd to take to a party on Saturday. And. And.

I cant wait to actually leave the house and have no more time to do anything.

It's the London Marathon on Sunday and I am determined to watch it all this year. I used to watch it as a kid then stopped, but since I started learning to run at the beginning of the year I've become fascinated with watching runners again.
I sort of have a dream that I will run my first 5K this year (have signed up for it on 3 July), my first 10K next year, half marathon the year after and then marathon the year after that, when I'll be 40.... Probably just a dream, but will see how I get on in the next few months and how the 5K goes before I decide it's impossible lol.
