.... my last pre-race post!

3 days to go... the weather is unpredictable... highs are now in our favor at 66 degrees (morning clouds, pm sun) YEAH!

Yesterday I had a great evening, actually this whole week has been SUPER! I ran 4 miles with Coach Paul and we did the river trail which is pretty flat and sorta boring but easy! It was a change of scenery and we maintained a pace of exactly 10 min/mile! Then my friend Amantha came over and I made dinner! Frozen Lean Cuisine pizza and then topped it with dessert "Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwich" my idea of good food for low calories!

The planner that I am, I will be taking a huge break on running next week to allow my body a chance to recoup from my marathon. The plans are set for a 3 mile run on Thursday with Jeremy and Amantha! Then I will run on Saturday at Heritage Park with the TNT crowd. I will be considered a special guest along with the others who show up after completing the marathon... we show off our medals and talk of our experience! I don't know what to say but "Umm" that is about all that comes out when I am nervous, LOL!

Next week's agenda... another fun week approaching:
  • Monday - attempt and excel at my tap class... showing off my medal
  • Tuesday - go swimming if the weather holds up otherwise it will be some much needed scrapbook time with my friend Erin! I have 3 more pages before my wedding album is complete! My goal is to have it done by the time our 5 yr anniversary arrives... I have until Aug.10th, no problem, right? I just have to sit down and do it! I can't wear my medal in the water but I will bring it to show Erin!
  • Wednesday - hang out with friends with my medal on
  • Thursday - back to running but this time with Jeremy and Amantha :)~ 3 -miles after my tap class where I will show off my medal again
  • Friday - Off for some Dad time, maybe we will go to the movies... it has been 4 months since our last theatre adventure... I think a medal will look good with my Friday outfit, whatever it may be!
  • Saturday -Team in Training 4 miler... show off medal again
  • Sunday - Hmmm Bowling with my medal on!

I guess you can I am excited to be getting my medal...

Stay tuned for my race day blog... I have it set to post at 3am... my wake up time on race day!

Love you all,

Melissa
