3 more days. 3 more days till the BIG DAY! If you've read my blog you know I've been freaking out about this since the very beginning. It's become a stressful event. (Who wouldn't it's 26.2 miles?!!) Stress that was only created by me. Well I'm here to say, "No more!" What's done is done. I've ran, I've stretched, I've been to therapy, I've missed big runs especially lately and I've hobbled alot. But from here on out it is what it is. I'm going to go out and have some fun. I'm going to go out and enjoy the people, the environment, the event...All the while I'm hobbling 26.2 miles. I like to think that I'm going to finish in the time frame, I'm praying I finish in the time frame. As for my postings it's been a roller coaster first I'm in then I'm out, I'm positive then I'm throwing in the towel. I've gotten some great support from family and friends. I'm glad I decided to write this blog and log the good, the bad and the ugly with a little chuckle thrown in. I've gotta laugh it helps with the pain. Since I've taken so much time off, I actually am starting to feel normal. I can walk up and down the stairs, I can bend my knees without winching, and I can roll out of bed without wondering if my ankles will support me. And here's a big one I haven't lost or gained one pound, but my clothes are starting to fit. I believe I truly believe my body has been swollen from all this abuse. I'm sure that will all change Sunday. And I'm looking forward to it. I hear you can track runners throughout the course online at the marathon website http://www.detroitfreepressmarathon.com/ . For all you California people the race starts at 4:15 am your time, that's 7:15 Michigan time. Wish me a fun journey!
