One week. Holy cow.

That's right--I only have one week until I run my marathon!

Training has been kinda iffy lately. I was supposed to run another 20-miler the other week, but due to time constraints I was only able to run 16 miles. I was supposed to run a 12-miler this last Sunday, but because I was on vacation, I didn't run that at all. Then of course, my shins started bothering me on Tuesday when I tried running again. This close to the marathon, that's definitely got me a little on edge.

Other than that, everything's great. I'm kinda nervous, excited... and I just want to get it over with. That might sound bad, but it's true. The training, planning my eating--it's just ridiculous. It'll all be worth it though. After all, can you really put a price on achieving such an accomplishment? Okay, that sounded a little tacky--but it's true!

Only 1% of Americans have ran a marathon. And pretty soon, I will be joining that small, elite percentage.

Here. We. Go.
