One Week

Exactly one week from now I will have run my first half marathon.  I ran 6.55 miles yesterday (a quarter marathon?), and I feel sore today, but I can still move around comfortably.  My shoulders and back are what's most sore, and I think that's from yoga.  I'm going to do a gentle 5k today, and I've also got to do my English homework, and head to the drugstore to pick up some waterproof sunscreen, since I fly out to LAX tomorrow morning!
I'm so excited to see my mom and sister, and to hang out in Disneyland!  It feels a bit odd - like I'm getting my reward before I've done the work to deserve it - but I still plan on having an awesome time! There are a couple more runs to work in (today, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday), but they're all easy distances.
I'm so excited to run this race!  I've spent over half a year preparing for it.  Granted, I could've tried a lot harder, and there were plenty of times I wanted to quit, but I pushed through.  I'm going to be really proud to have "ran a half marathon" on my resume before my 26th birthday.  Only one more week until that's a reality.
