Still. I have a plan.
My plan is to do 8 miles sometime this weekend and 10 next weekend and then I should be OKish for the half. I have been running at least, just not as long. 2-3 miles 5 times a week or so. Hopefully that'll be enough.
I was going to do that 8 miles today but I fell apart. I could barely do the 4 I settled myself to do. Did OK for the first 2 miles and in the 3rd mile, I had a tummy ache, a knee ache, a "I just don't feel like doing this ache" and all kinds of "WTF is going on with me?" So I ran to 3.1 and was going to call it a day… Of course, I couldn't call it a day. I was too close to four miles. So I sucked it up. I ended my Nike program at 3.1 but finished the rest of the mile off the record… It was slow and there was some walking in there but at least I got four miles in. And I feel a little comfort that I at least finished what I had started.
Not the best run ever. But you know. We have good days and bad days. Tomorrow will be better.
And in other news…

| Not my usual look... |
Today, was my grand TODAY show appearance! Whoopee. I looked slightly dorky - a model I am not. I didn't know what to do with my hands, my feet, I forgot to smile half the time but still, it was a blast.

| Totally forgetting to smile - oops |
I was sooooooo proud of my BFF Amy Acton who handled the interview like a pro!!
At the end all of us came back out:

| Fun day!! |
Have a great weekend all!!

You have to tell those inner voices to STFU! Are you meeting up with Jaylene at the HH?

Yeah Linda I need to be better about shutting up the voices - I've come a long way but sometimes still tough!

Hang in there with running, you're doing it, that's what matters and I know you will make it to the start and the finish line! :)
You looked great! What an experience! :)
Congrats on the Today show appearance - that is so fun!
As for the running, we all go through periods like this. The race will offer a fun day for you. And, it's completely normal to get a little burned out from time to time. Mix it up if running starts to feel like too much of a slog. Movement is movement :)
You look great! What an awesome experience!
That is so exciting! You look wonderful.
