61 days and counting...

It's getting closer to that wonderful marathon day!!!  I've felt so unmotivated the past month that I haven't been running much...Yeah not good...This last week though, I got out and made myself do it.  I had Addi on Saturday, so I had to leave work early Friday to go home and get on my running gear for a fabulous 16 mile jog...Well it was supposed to be 16 miles...I had a meeting to go to at work that I originally didn't know about, so I left later than I thought.  The first 5 miles were the hardest.  I couldn't get into a rhythm due to the fact that the road had many hills, but after that it was all down hill and straight.  I actually did better than I thought I would do.  I made it 14.2 miles before stopping.  I would have finished, but I had to get home to get ready to go out for Brittnee's birthday.  It was the longest run I've done to date.  I also have to say that even though I haven't been sticking to my schedule, it still wasn't too bad! :0)  Now I just have to get myself running a little less than twice that amount and doing it a little faster and I'll be able to get through the marathon without too many problems.  I just keep chanting, "It's mostly downhill.  It's mostly downhill."  I figure if I keep telling myself that I will convince my mind that it can do anything! :0) 

Dinner was fun!  We went to Tucano's Brazillian Grill at the Gateway.  They have delicious fried bananas!  I love them!  It was fun to be able to go and spend some time with friends out and about.  We don't do it as much as we used to and sometimes I really miss having fun just hanging out!  It's been a great week!  I hope next week is just as amazing!
