7 days and counting

It's a week away. In exactly 7 days from now, I will be pounding the pavement for 26.2 miles in San Francisco. I thought I would be terrified.....but after failing the practice marathon, my fear has disappeared. I don't know how that works....I would think I'd be even more fearful that I didn't finish, but no. It only took one day to recover from the 20 miles I did, as opposed to three recovery days after the first time I did 20 miles. My body can take it. I'm ready. Here I am, ready to hit the road....


And most of my running group....
