I intend to blog as I run the marathon on Sunday. Okay, maybe not but that would kind of cool. When I helped a few weeks ago with the Houston marathon I saw people chatting on their phones, texting and Lyndsey spotted someone videoing themselves as they ran along.
Hmmm...not me. My head will be up focused on the place my feet will place next. If my eyes are closed I am likely praying for God to take away the pain and I mean that as respectfully as possible.
I watched the Spirit of the Marathon last night and this morning. It's a documentary that follows about 5 runners with different goals and desires for running the Chicago marathon. I ended up tearing up in the end of the show because my nerves were finally at peace.
It was a good reminder that I need to enjoy the experience, have fun, challenge myself and get through it. I am not going for place finishing, my goal in the beginning should be the same at the end. FINISH.
That's what I intend to do.
