12 days

Twelve days to race day. Twelve days to 26.2 miles.

I'm excited and nervous and scared. I've run 20 miles twice, but am I ready for the heat. How hot will it be? Will I hit the wall? Or will I evade it?

The trick is not going faster than your body can handle. At the end of the Memphis Half-marathon, I was a little disappointed that I hadn't run faster because I felt so refreshed and energized. But maybe if I can run close to that 10 minute, 40 second pace again, I'll do well for myself. In March's Little Rock Half-Marathon, I ran it in a 10 minute, 2 second pace.

Please pray for me and pray for good weather also.
