Sunday is almost here
Sunday is almost here. Not 100% sure if I’m ready for it yet, but it’s going to be here reguardless. I had my first real “freak out” about the marathon on Wednesday. Ginny and I were sitting at 17th Street Grill, consuming some of the best BBQ this side of the milky way… and blam. It hit. 26.2 miles. By “myself.”
How am I going to run that without the encouragement of a group of people that I know? What happens if my knee acts up and I’m unable to finish? What happens if some other freak injury occurs? What if I have to use the bathroom and there are no porta-potties available!?!? I tried to relax some, but it was tough. The adrenaline had already started, and me “thinking” wasn’t going to calm it down. I need to start thinking more positively about the beast.
I feel like I’m much better prepared than I was in 2002 when I last ran a marathon, but I was also 6 years younger. I also quit running for about 5 years after that. I hope that doesn’t happen again.
In other news, I’ve begun modding my Nerf Maverick. I’m having some trouble getting it to shoot consistently, but the darts it does shoot seem to really fly!!! I’ve also painted it and detailed it. I’ll post pictures when I’m done completely.
Oh, and Brian… you’re going down!
