The Cleveland Rite Aid Half Marathon is only 4 days away! It seems like we have been training forever. We started in January and we have done long runs in the cold rain, snow, ice and hot heat. Training in Cleveland is always an adventure. I’m a little nervous for the big day. I have never actually run 13.1 miles straight and we want to keep the pace at 10 minutes or so. Will we be able to keep that pace? Will we be hating life at 10 miles in?
I do know that excitement will be at an all time high. This is my first half marathon and Kristen’s second. The most we have run together is 12 miles, so I’m looking forward to hitting another milestone with my governor at my side! We will have family and friends there to cheer us on and the Luna Moon gummies will be tucked in the secret pocket of my GGB’s new spandex shorts.
It WILL be great! It really will! We are going to run with our backs straight and tall! We are going to keep our own pace and not the pace of the racers around us! We will stay strong on any increase in elevation! We will think about all the calories we are burning! We will feel the excitement of all the fans and other racers! We can’t wait to cross the finish line strong, with smiles on our faces!
Wish us luck!
