It's my blog and if I'm gonna be a downer then so be it!! I don't plan on it mind you. It is a new month and all. Finally headed into Fall, which is awesome in my small little world.
I'm still plan on running Chicago. Why? I dunno...tho at times I do know. It is for me, part, and then a greater part is for Trent. I plan on having a shirt done with a transfer of: For Trent (on the front), Indeed! (on the back). Some of you will understand, and some of you won't....no worries. It's for me and Trent and that is all.
Is my training all that and a bag of potato chips? Noooo, not quite. I have a very long ass run tomorrow. P'bly my last long run before Chicago. I have not properly eaten or hydrated today for this run. Another words, it will p'bly be very ugly indeed. Tho, I will go out and put one foot in front of the other, and do it. Yes, it will be hard. I will cuss at times, walk at times, stretch out my irritatingly, beautiful R ITB, sweat alot and maybe cry a little...but I will do my run knowing that Trent is pushing me on, and is my strength when I feel I can't go on. He drives me to accomplish this race, that once was so important to me. I wanted to qualify for Boston again, and possibly knock out NYC as well. Tho since May 4th, this has had no importance--qualifying that is, and even doing the race, which had been my brass ring earlier this year. Right now, and in the next 5 weeks it will be important just for me to be on that starting line, and nothing else. It just matters that I start Chicago. It matters to me, for me of course, but I'm doing this for Trent. I know he would want me to not give up on Chicago, so I will start, and I plan on finishing for both of us.
My tickets are in hand. I'm ready to travel come Oct., and hope to run a decent race.
More than that I will be running for Trent.
Go Girl! No matter what, I know he is smiling down thinking you rock!
ReplyDeleteI know he will be there. He just will. OH, and yeah, I will rock---damn it!! ;-))
