You never know what will happen on race day, but you have more than put in the work and are very ready for a PR. I will be cheering you on. Good luck with the rest of the taper.

Regardless of what the clock says, you're #1 in my book-and a few others' as well:)<br /><br />Love your closing list and TP may be a better sports psychologist than yours truly. LOL Brilliant advice and timing! (((Big hug)))-I wish I was there to see you cross the finish line, but soon enough!! <br /><br />Adrienne Langelier, MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557342659549394877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222151866215168851.post-76163178199101525022012-10-05T11:31:12.362-05:002012-10-05T11:31:12.362-05:00Such crazy stuff in your life (just read the last ...Such crazy stuff in your life (just read the last post, too, with the teenage girl/prom thing...so cute). Despite the horrible meany with the truck, all I see there is goodness and fun and you being ready to kick some major ass this weekend. Man, I'm going to be thinking about you hard and sending out numbers in my head that will coincide with the numbers you will be accumulating, mile by mile by mile. You rock, girl and this weekend will be your shining moment. (though TPs right because you have many shining moments still to come) Kisses!Girl In Motionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12845071620369547052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222151866215168851.post-23900984655818019372012-10-05T07:40:19.991-05:002012-10-05T07:40:19.991-05:00Tell TP 'thank you!'

So what if the race sucks? It's not my last marathon. There will be lots more. <br /><br />Wow, for some reason, I found that statement so calming. <br /><br />And you totally are a badass runner and coach! I'm thinking good thoughts for you...I really really hope it all comes together. You've put in the training. You can do it!!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415512134390374929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222151866215168851.post-60669026350761807892012-10-05T07:13:22.445-05:002012-10-05T07:13:22.445-05:00I worked in a special needs 'unit' at a pr...I worked in a special needs 'unit' at a primary school in Scotland for a couple of years. I remember being so nervous about it before I started and then within 15 minutes of being with these kids, I relaxed and realized they're 'just' kids. One of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had, lot's of funny stories too (no skirt lifting but had my boobs groped once, in the days when I had boobs ;)). <br />30 marathons - wow, is that an accurate guesstimate?! I think you're always going to be someone who gets wound up/nervous about each and every one of them because you are someone who sets high, very high standards for yourself, it's who you are. You could always go through life and be happy with mediocre.......didn't think so ;D Good luck on the day and I hope that's an end to all the crazy stuff that's been happening to you. Oh and as for those annoying doubts re less mileage, the milage you have been doing has contained some INCREDIBLE quality work right? I'm thinking the BEAST et al, so take those doubts and throw the beast at them, you've got this!!!!!!!!!!!!Vicky Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786952457058276684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222151866215168851.post-90432905139473171682012-10-05T06:54:57.227-05:002012-10-05T06:54:57.227-05:00I love the final three things you are grateful for...I love the final three things you are grateful for.
