Dear Friends and Family, Im now 17 days away from my 52.4 mile race. 3 weeks ago I called my mom, crying because I hadnt been able to run a mile without pain in weeks. Worried I was going to let people down if I couldnt run. But then I realized there are things I have in my control and things that are not...so I got myself refocused on the things I could control: I did my stretching and PT diligently...I built my mileage back up--slow and steady....and I prayed. A lot. Im back to running--I have my longest runs this weekend and then I get to taper for the race. Whether or not I finish the race is out of my hands....Im OK with that, but I promise I will give it my ALL.
