Ready or Not, Here it Comes!

So here I am, only 39 hours until the marathon.  I keep saying to myself, "It's going to be fun.  It's going to be fun."  Then I see all the rain coming down outside and think about how I hate running in the rain....Everyone help me out and pray for a nice day on Saturday!  I can handle the cold, but not the wet.  The past few weeks have been a battle getting myself out running.  The angel and devil on my shoulders are always battling it out.  Should I go run out in the rain?  Should I go to the gym and run my six miles on the treadmill?  Lots of should I's.  Sadly the last two weeks have been me avoiding the decision all together and not running....NOT GOOD!  I am going to do this anyways and just push through and finish.  Even if it takes me all day to do it! 

If you want to come cheer me on you can go to any of the following locations:

Eden Park (using alternate route over North Ogden Divide) Halfway
Ogden Parkway by Timbermine and the Dinosaur Park Only 5K to go
24th and Grant Home Stretch
 25th and Grant Finish Line

The race starts at 7, I figure, barring any mishaps, I'll be finishing sometime between 12:30-1:00 p.m.

This adventure has been a long one full of aches and pains as well as a knowledge that I can work hard and truly accomplish anything I put my mind to doing.  I'm ready to close this long-distance running chapter of my life and start on something new, something fun....Let me know if you have any ideas! :0)
