I'm Scared!!!
Apr25200812:22 p.m.
Did you ever dream about your long run the night before you run it? Today I'm planning on running my 20-miler, and last night, my poor, crazy subconscious was rife with mathematical equations that added up to 20. In my dream, I was getting dressed, over and over and over again. Two pairs of socks, leg warmers (??), tights, big cotton sweatpants - as a dream runner I guess I wear some pretty zany stuff. I no longer try to make sense of my vivid, nightly dreams, but I am pretty fascinated and amused by them. But the meaning of this one was pretty clear - no deep, dream analysis required. I'M SCARED to run 20 (and 26.2, too).
Running my second marathon is like having my second child - I know what I'm in for, and I KNOW it's gonna hurt. Last year at this time, each training run was the first time I had ever gone that far. But this year, I know better! So later this morning, keep your fingers crossed, say your prayers, or send me your good mojo vibes; I'll need them.
