Okay. It's been 18 weeks, and they have flown by. I've put in the miles, put fuel in my bod (maybe a bit too much), and now it's here.
My mind is set to where it needs to be, time to get all my gear together.
I'm a bit tired this week, feeling a little sleep deprived. Kids are getting back to school, so we're up earlier, adjusting to new bedtimes.
Had my last PT session, Michelle wished me luck, said I would be fine, that she'll be thinking of me on Sunday.
Then I made an appointment for Monday.
I will be thinking of this on Sunday while I run, and I'll be wearing my American Flag pin.
The weather might be sketchy, maybe rainy, maybe not.
A huge Thank You to Jennifer, one of my BFF's, and Biggest Cheerleader, for making me my Marathon Training Journal....three years before I got the chance to actually use it.
For the race, I'm going to wear my Camo running skirt, grey tank, and white visor. I've worn this outfit for every long training run, so I can't break from the routine. On my last long training run, instead of the tank, I wore a Tech shirt and pulled my hamstring. Superstitious? Maybe.
Deep Breath.
Game On.

Do your best to get a good night's sleep on Friday.
And then run that race like you know you can.
I'm not at all surprised that your tech shirt put a little extra strain on the hammy.
It's all connected, ya know.

Hopefully you can get a good nights sleep tonight! That is what I am planning on! Hopefully we will see each other Sunday! I posted what I will be wearing. I may try to meet up with one of my friends right near where we get our chips. Otherwise I will look for you down by the start!
What a great journal!

Ahh!!! Congratulations on making it this far and best of luck this weekend. You're a tough cookie, I'm sure you can handle it! :)
Have a fabulous, fabulous race! You are ready, enjoy the day and the marathon!
Good luck and have fun Molly! You're well trained and can so do this! I'll be thinking of you!
Good luck!!!
Try to get a good night sleep Friday night. The sleep two nights out is more important than the night before. Or so they say. And don't be afraid to eat during the marathon. I think over gelling is important when miles 20-26 roll around.
And good luck! You have made this far and ready to toe the line.
"You can do it, you can make it" is a line from one of the Marine Corps running cadences I listen to when I run. Remember that at mile 22 if you doubt yourself!
I'll be thinking about you this weekend! Rock it, baby!!!
So exciting!! You've put in the hard work and you're gonna do great! Enjoy it!
Here's a quote that I like:
"I tell our runners to divide the race into thirds. Run the first part with your head, the middle part with your personality, and the last part with your heart."
- Mike Fanelli, club coach
So excited for you--everything is going to fall into place beautifully! GO MOLLY GO!
Go, girl!!
Good luck this Sunday 'Baker'! Sounds like you are fully prepared, kill it!

Hi Molly,
I have been thinking about you so much lately! You are going to be just fine! You just wait and see...you will surprise yourself! I am sending you lots of luck and happy-positive running vibes! Good luck to you as you run this marathon!! Totally looking forward to the race report:)
Go Molly! I am so happy and excited for you! There is absolutely nothing like the feeling of your first marathon. Crossing that finish line is amazing and you will feel so many emotions along the way. My advice is to enjoy and "be in the moment" every step of the way. Gosh, I am getting all choked up over thinking of mine in May. There's nothing like it!
Trust in your training and you will do FANTASTIC. Good luck with the leg and don't worry about your time. Just get to that finish line!!! Go MOLLY!
BTW-keep us posted.
Yay! I can't wait to read all about it! Good luck!
Have the time of your life, you'll never forget this one!
Good luck to your run, looking forward for good result.
Good luck tomorrow!!! Can't wait to read the report! Remember to smile when crossing the finish line!
GO MOLLY! Looking forward to reading the report of your GREAT day!
I'm sending good thoughts and vibes your way!!! I'm sure you'll rock it!! Good luck!
