Running

Run - to go quickly by moving the legs more rapidly than at a walk and in such a manner that for an instant in each step all or both feet are off the ground.

So I don't have any pictures for this post but I am more writing to... "speak" what is on my mind. There are 30 days left until my marathon!! Can you believe it?!?! I can't believe it's almost here. I have 3 more long Saturday runs left to go and then the BIG day. I am excited to be done but then nervous for it to be here!! I have the days requested off for work, I have the place reserved down in St. George, I have my running outfit all picked out :), I have my running gear all ready to go and any else you can think of. My running schedule is working out perfectly. I didn't think it was going to for a while but I have worked out it out and it runs smooth. Ha Ha no pun intended. My runs sometimes go great and sometimes make me want to die. I can run 16 miles and feel great afterwards and sometimes I can run 6 and feel like I just ran 16 hours straight. Sometimes I absolutely love running and sometimes I think it will be the death of me. Sometimes I tell myself this will be my first and last marathon and sometimes I tell myself I would like to train for another one. Most of the times my blood glucose levels (because I am a type I diabetic) go fabulous and sometimes I can't figure out for the life of me why they are freaking out. Sometimes my body physically feels great after a run and sometimes I feel like a semi just ran over me. Sometimes I see other runners and I want to get out and join them and sometimes I see runners and I think they must be psycho and out of their minds. I don't seem to understand running. Maybe I need to start a different exercise routine. Maybe I should pick up... yoga, pilates, biking, anything else but then again I always come back to running. It is a great way to lose yourself in thoughts, feel great, and die all at the same time. :) Why do I do it? I can't pin it on one thing. It changes every day depending on how I feel. Even now there is SO much I can say about running but I just know how to put it into words. People say they hate running, I understand, and then there are people who say they love running, I understand. Sigh, maybe this is why I never speak what is on my mind. I never feel better because I am terrible at trying to say what I want to say. :) But alas, all I really wanted to say is there are 30 days left until the big day of my marathon and the one goal that I have had for years!!! What to do, what to do?!?!?!?! RUN
