I mean that is just ADORABLE you look like you are 17 (I mean that as a compliment) and he is just like, "yeah, I'm chillin'!" As for a 3 hour run- huge milestone, right!!?? You got this Ali. You have 2 more months of training, and you will taper.

Race day excitement will up your pace and you still have two months to focus on speed work and just getting miles under your feet. My marathon running friend has a marathon in December that he wants to PR in and he just did his first speed workout yesterday.

Don't most races start "the clock" on cut-offs after the last person has crossed the start line? That tends to give everyone in the front / middle a nice buffer! Plus race day adrenaline will definitely carry you to the finish, or at least that is what I keep telling myself :)Kristina @ Blog About Runninghttp://www.blogaboutrunning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-77950300314020347542014-09-28T17:10:15.159-07:002014-09-28T17:10:15.159-07:00I can't do sushi...I've tried...I just don...I can't do sushi...I've tried...I just don't get it!<br />You are going to do great in your marathon...I know it's hard....but trust your training and your legs...you've got this!!!RunnerGirl_Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288771483578903319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-80927441370539833682014-09-28T14:56:39.268-07:002014-09-28T14:56:39.268-07:00I have confidence that you can do this!

And you're so lucky that you can jump in a pool after a long run - must be perfect! <br />I'm sure that you'll be able to do it, we are always a hell of a lot stronger and more capable than we think. Plus the adrenaline you get on race days helps you to perform significantly faster so there's always that! And you have two more months to go, you've got this :) Nessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14895868111675109830noreply@blogger.com
