Yesterday was my last long run until my race. For whatever reason my legs would not fire! My 8 miles was painfully slow at 12:30 mm. At this pace I know I will make the cut off time of 3 hours or 13 mm for my half.

I'm disappointed b/c I want to run faster. I know this year I'm taking on some major challenges and my primary goal is to finish healthy. HOWEVER finishing FAST is also important to me no matter how much I remind myself that I am still a new runner.

At this point I just need to know that I've trained for this race, I need to have faith in my ability that I will finish no matter the time. So far I've done everything I could to prepire and I am ready.

Now bring on the spaghetti! oh wait that's for next week! tee hee
