As the time gets closer to walking the half-marathon on Sunday, I am feeling really tired and stressed. I'm not sure what's going on with me. I want to be at my best. I want to give the marathon my best. I am taking tomorrow off and hopefully will have an opportunity to rest. However, I am going tomorrow morning with my brother-in-law Rob and his friend to an abandoned storage unit auction. Rob and I are thinking about bidding on a storage unit or two and then you get whatever is in the unit. They don't allow you to go through the stuff before the auction. They open the door and basically you have to bid on the stuff without really looking at it closely. I guess there is a reality show based on people who do this called storage wars. I am thinking about working with Rob to sell stuff on eBay and Craig's List. I'm not completely convinced of this but I am intrigued.
Later in the day my friend Karen, my sister Stacey, and my brother-in-law Rob are going downtown to pick up our marathon registration stuff. Supposedly we are going to get all kinds of free stuff from the marathon sponsors. I am looking forward to that.
Saturday my Mom is making a big pasta dinner for everyone. We plan to carbo-load before the marathon. I am really looking forward to that.
The weather is not looking good for the marathon. It is almost certain to rain. I am questioning if I really want to walk in the rain. Last year my sister Stacey walked in the rain and she got huge blisters on her feet and had to go to the doctor. I don't want to get blisters and I really don't like to be out in the rain. All of my co-workers were encouraging me today to go ahead. I don't really want to walk in the rain but I also don't want all of this training to be for nothing. So, I think I'm in no matter what. I am really glad I took a vacation day on Monday to recover.
I will keep you informed as the weekend progresses. I certainly welcome your prayers. I'm sure it's going to be interesting. Thanks for being a part of my journey!
