I have to write because I'm so excited about today. I was supposed to do my 18 mile run today and I was so nervous about it because of how bad my 16.5er went on saturday. Well, it went sooo well this morning. So well, that I decided to do 20! Why stop when I'm feeling so great? And I did it in 2hrs 40 mins! I figured out that I would have to drop my pace to about a 16 minute mile during the last 6 miles of the race in order to get a worse time than my first marathon, which seems pretty unlikely. Did that sentence seem weird?

The point is, I am feeling really confident about the race now. I can't believe that slacking off by doing two months less training might pay off. What a horrible life lesson! I guess I shouldn't count my chickens because who knows what could happen during or before the actual race.

But for now, I'm a happy little bird. Check out my run to the right on my little widget :)

Oh yeah, I am at work today and I'm am feeling some aching in my legs and hiney. I have a full schedule, but so far I think the standing might be helping.
