Here we go again!

It's hard to believe that it has been almost three months since my last running blog. That also means it has been almost three months since my last marathon which means my next marathon is right around the corner. . . in fact it is 8 days away!

A year ago, I was terrified at the the thought of running 26.2 miles, but now I've done it and maybe for me, it is better that I know what is coming. I just came off an amazing run in Hartford and have nothing but positive thoughts. Dad and I have vowed to make this run just for fun. We realized that after last year's heat and humidity, goals need to be adjusted and this will be a race we do not to set any records, but for the sheer fun of running the Disney Marathon, the medal that is put around your neck at the end of the race, and seeing thousands and thousands of spectators along the course route cheering on complete strangers. Running Disney is fun because it is the most magical 26.2 miles on Earth.

And so here we are again, with my pre-race blogs, but this time, I don't know what to say. I know what to expect, I know the route and I also know that I can run 26.2 miles, I've done it before and I can do it again.

I guess the biggest thing for me on race day will be knowing that I accomplished my running goal for the year. . . 3 marathons in one year's time. That's pretty big.

Until next time. . . happy running!
