Ready or Not, Here I Run!

This is the week, the week I make my annual trek down to Atlanta, GA to make another trek known as The Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon! Last year, you may remember, was my first full marathon. I was quite involved in my training, being a newbie, and it took everything I had to accomplish that distance and cross that life-long dream "To-Do" off my list. It wouldn't have been possible without a seriously awesome team of supportive friends. You may remember them from my Bagel Transfer Video. If not, here it is again. 
One of those friends, shortly after the marathon, asked me if it was too early to ask me to commit to running the half with her this year for her first half marathon race experience. You may notice her running next to me down the road and cheering in the above video! Anyhow, I told her it would be my honor. She has been training all year long and I can't wait to see her and her training partner cross the finish line this Sunday morning! After all, she helped me get home after the marathon last year, it is the least I can do.

This is my friend, Amanda, who I will be running with this Sunday morning. She literally gave me the shirt off her back last year after I finished the marathon because mine was soaked through, as well as a shoulder to lean on during the walk back to the train station.
I'm thankful for my new pair of VERY purple running shoes and the continuous lessons and realizations that this activity of running has given me over the last 4 years since my first 5K. This week I will be resting up, stretching out, carbohydrate loading and looking forward to the delicious food that will be consumed afterwards! 

So, ready or not... this Sunday morning, down in Atlanta, I will be running 13.1 miles with my good friend Amanda & her training partner, Nolan... here we come!
