It has been a while since I wrote in my diary so I thought I would do a little journaling.

The past couple of weeks have been great. I have been chosen to be a mentor for next season's team. I will help other participants make it throught their event through fundraising, training and just plain moral support! I feel honored to have been asked. Next season starts the Saturday after my marathon so I don't get much of a break before I start training again!

I ran 13 miles last Saturday and felt pretty good. I have been a bit under-the-weather so I thought I was sluggish, BUT...I ran it in exactly 2 hours. That is only 6 minutes slower than my first half marathon time!

Tomorrow I will run 20 miles for the second time. I am a little nervous of course but that is to be expected. The weather has changed so it is quite a bit hotter than I would like. I am going to get out there an hour early so I can beat SOME of the heat. Once I am done, I will come home for a shower and head out for a massage...YEAH!

ONLY 23 MORE DAYS!!!
