Okay, so I really wanted someone to run this relay with me about 3 months ago. All of my running buddies were already taken. Barbara was with her hubby and Heather is really pregnant. So I just wrote it off. I knew I would not be ready to do the whole half marathon on my own and I just don't like doing 5k's, they are kinda boring. Then Barbara called this afternoon and "relayed" the message that her husband was injured and could not run. So, I was at first really excited that we were going to run the relay together, then I realized I would have to run 6.5 miles. I have not run that far since Thanksgiving in Mesa. Now I am nervous. Can I train in 1 week for 6.5 miles? I don't know, but I guess we will find out Saturday afternoon after the race. I'll keep everyone posted. Man I am nervous, 2 months ago this would of been a piece of cake. Oh yeah, guess how much cake I have eaten in the last 2 months, a lot!
