It's official, after 3hours and 18 miles of running in one day, I officially HATE marathon training!! In the past 11 weeks, i've run a little over 400miles, that's more than anyone should run in their lifetime!! And i still have about 200 miles left before i even reach the marathon and get, yes get, to run 26.2 miles. This is officially the dumbest idea i have ever had in my entire life. Whatever possessed me to run a marathon needs to be taken out of my head, trampled on, and never be allowed to see the light of day again!
I know, I know, you're probably thinking, 'oh what a huge accomplishment, how wonderful to be able to tell your kids one day that you ran a marathon', HA!! Are you kidding me, it is SOOO not worth it! And besides, i don't even have kdis!! Ok, so now you are probably thinking, 'why in the world are you still running? why haven't you quit yet?' Are you kidding me??? If i quit now, then it would completely erase the 400 miles i've already run, it would be like they never even happened. So i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, and both hurt my feet very badly.
Yet here i am, 4 weeks away from the marathon, feet aching, back sore, toes bleeding, and of course, LOTS of complaining, but i'm still running. Running, and Running, and Running... as if my life depended on it, as if each step takes me a second closer to crossing that finish line, as if some day i'll look back and remember when i was young and capable of running 26.2 miles in one day without dying. Yes, maybe one day i will look back on this time in my life with joy and jubilation, and maybe even feel proud of this accomplishment, but until that day comes, i truly HATE marathon training!

OOOOOO MYYYYYY GOSH!
Why?
Remember when Suzanne ran her marathon. She trained forever to run it, and as I watched all I could do is shake my head and say...... WHY?
She is proud and is able to say she did it...... but man.....
NOT ME!
Wish we could be there to cheer you across the finish line!
Yep, I'm almost up to two miles, that's 2 entire miles! Oh yea, my toes don't bleed....
Well I, for one, am jealous!! I know your in pain and aching from head to toe but it takes so much determination and commitment to do something like that and that just goes to show what type of a person you are ;) Love ya, keep on running!
