Weekly Update.
What a week it has been!
My birthday was a wonderful whirlwind...we ate at Carnivale, Mike got my a ridiculous amoung of stuff (AWESOME stuff, mind you--he really outdid himself!) and then our big screen TV came so the past few days have been comprised of shuffling EVERYTHING in our condo around.
Good times.
I won't even hit upon work right now, cause well...it's work. And work STINKS! BOO!
Soooooo...tomorrow is the big run. The long mamma jamma. The last scary distance before 10/22. The 20.
Mentally...I'm sooo ready for it. Or maybe I'm just ready for it to be over? Physically? I've had to back off for a while because of my foot...but last time around I did 20 having missed the 18 b/c of back problems. So I know I can just rock the run if I put my mind to it. ...key word: IF.
The good news? My foot is feeling oodles better thanks to this little brace.
It's a bit weird to wear all day (and I have only been wearing my running shoes to work this week) but it really does make a difference. Hopefully it doesn't chaff my foot to shreds during tomorrow's run. There's no way I'll be able to run without it. I'm still debating whether or not to use it over or under the sock. And I've got plenty of body glide just waiting to be caked on.
My motto tomorrow: MIND OVER BODY. I know I can do the distance...it's just a matter of making myself believe that I can once I'm out there. Just get lost in the miles, one foot in front of the other and it'll be over before I know it.
We'll see how it goes. Although it is a bit on the chilly side here in Chicago. I think I might need to bust out a long sleeve tech for the occassion.
And mark your calendar...Rae's birthday is on Sunday...so be sure to stop by and with my fellow Libra a rockin' birthday! :D
Happy Friday, everyone!!

Good luck on the 20 miler tommorow. You can do it.
One foot in front of the other, baby :)
Good thing you have that handy brace! Glad to hear the b-day was awesome.
Hope the run goes well! It helps to know what is going on inside of the foot, and your mental concentration seems to be in sync! Good luck!
