They do mine. I have been getting a little worried instead of excited to run the Porter's Half Marathon on Saturday. Mainly because my knee and hip have been giving me fits for the last couple of days. Then my foot on my other side started tweaking. Is it all in my head?
We have no clue where it is. We don't know what the route is like other than the first part is down hill.

I was up all night tossing and turning and dreaming about all that would and could go wrong. Therefore, I was up all night with a negative attitude. I woke up with a negative attitude and sore body. This should be happening the night before a race not TWO nights before.
Well I'm gonna DO IT!
My attitude for all day Friday will be positive and I will try to vision myself running gliding down the shady road with wind in my hair (behind me of course to give me that little push) and a smile on my face and a bounce in my step run with JUST Doran and not with 299 other people.
Who cares if they pass me...ok I might.
Who cares if I am last...ok I might.

But by golly I want to do my best and if I don't win the GOLD medal at least I want to finish standing up with NO pain in my legs and feet (because I have get to do it again next Saturday with the Top of Utah Half) all while running in my new shoes. Is that too much to hope for?
I have been icing knee and hip.
Stretching legs and feet.
Eating junk.
Staying hydrated.
Training except for 3 miles on Wednesday.
Just remember to focus on my OWN pace!
Please say some extra prayers for us.
Doran I don't worry about, he is a stud. I kind of wish he would run right with me but I want him to do his best so I am sending him on his way at the crack of the gun.

You're OFF!!!
You'll do GREAT.
(don't worry so much about the little stuff--just finish!)
XO
can't wait to hear how you did.
Negative thoughts do affect us for sure....I can stay awake a great deal of the night stewing about things.
Ready....Set....YOU DID IT!!!!! I'm sorry about your negative thoughts. I've run enough of these races that I just do it and not care about my time (a little bit). I know I will never be in first place and I know there will always be people behind me. It's just fun to be out there in the cool morning air with so many others doing the same thing enjoying it too. Next week's course is in your backyard so you will even fly more down that mountain! It's going to be sweet:)
Hope you did ok!
