1 day left

Last day tomorrow, then M-day.!!

I am really apprehensive, nervous, almost nauseous, not quite, but almost.

Had the same feelings before the 23 miler we did. Keep telling myself, we have covered 23 .5 miles before, this is just 3 more. Dont know what I am scared of,
no-one knows me,
for the first time in my long life I am going anywhere without being responsible for my little kids,
I have not done this route before, what if I need something, all my long distances have been done within 5 miles of home.
This is almost like an adventure for me(dont laugh!!), I know not as in climbimg mountains, but just going to SF with my sister, never done it before.

As far as the marathon, have to stop looking back at what we did do and did not do and just go with the flow on sunday. If things have to go right, they will, and if not then not. The hand having writ , moves on, All my tears, etc etc etc. Ok, I am rambling, I am nervous, and I need to hide somewhere. No overthinking this one, take a deep breath and take the forst step, i.e. pack my bag.

Good luck to GB and NB!! May monday find you smiling and in the best of spirits!!
