Tomorrow, Josh and I are running the Fayetteville Half Marathon. This will be my 5th half marathon and falls perfectly into my marathon training schedule. It's crazy to think that I am almost half through!
Tomorrow's race will actually be Josh's first half marathon, so this race is a huge deal!! If I were running this by myself, I wouldn't think of it than more than a long run with a bunch of other people plus a bonus medal at the end. But since this is Josh's first, we're going all out.
Including photos at the Expo:
Some carb-induced comas:
Ugh! Horrible, hazy eyed photo...
And awesome pep talks from your's truly:
Josh's only goal is to finish in one piece. Let's just say he hasn't been able to train as diligently as he would have liked (cough cough, merely running 7miles about 3 weeks ago). This is largely do to joint/knee pain, and the fact that he decided to start training 1 month ago. Crazy boy.
I'm just happy that I'll be running tomorrow with my best friend. Wish us luck!
Yay congratulations on a first race and a fifth race! When are you running your full marathon?? I just signed up for my first one next June and I am so excited slash nervous about the training, running, etc.
