Nerves

My nerves are starting to get to me a little. I don't know if it's because I'm starting to taper and am doing the inevitable questioning of my readiness, or if it's the fact that it seems like I've heard more and more about the hills of Cincinnati in the last week, but I'm seriously a wreck about the marathon. YIKES... it's just a marathon. Heck, I've done an Ironman and I don't think I was this nervous a week and a half out for that. :)

Don't be nervous! You are awesome, and you will do fantastic! This will be a piece of cake compared to the Ironman! :)

You will do beautifully. You seem to always doubt yourself, but then you far exceed your own expectations. I know you'll fly through "Little Switzerland" with little to no problems!!!!!!!

xoxoxo

Just relax and breathe... you'll be fine! Your training runs have sounded awesomely well. Just go out and run like you've been doing all along! You will so kick butt at Flying Pig!

You and my hubs can pull each others hair out...oh wait he's already bald!

Anyway, the hills (or inclines as I say in my house) are nothing. Keep your pace and you will be on fire for the second half of the race (in a good way).

You will have plenty of peeps cheering you on at the finish...I swear you will burn it out!

"I think over again my small adventures.
My fears, those small ones that seemed so big.
For all the vital things I had to get and reach.
And yet there is only one great thing.
The only thing.
To live to see the great day that dawns.
And the light that fills the world."

Just enjoy the day. Love you. Carolyn

You'll do beautifully. I have no doubt, and so happy that I'll be there to cheer you over the finish line. Love, Mom xo
