Less than 3 hours and the starting gun will fire.
I am a mix of everything inside. Scared. Proud. Excited. Sick. Relieved. Overjoyed. Terrified. Awe.
All of these emotions and feelings. It really is something that I can't describe. You have to experience something like this in order to truly understand it.
I've got on my running hat. My t-shirt that I've got the sleeves rolled up and my name on it. My fanny pack full of Gu. These awful spandex pants. I've trained the past 5 months, and my life has completely been changed.
Today, I run my first marathon. I am a runner. I am an athlete. It doesn't matter what size I am or how I look doing it, as long as I'm moving towards that finish line and never stop moving.
Thank you everyone for coming along with me on this journey. All your messages of love and support are tucked in my fanny pack for good luck. You'll be along for the whole run! (Esp. Pip and Img, THANK YOU SO MUCH!)
I'll see you guys after the race.
Love,
