This morning I woke up late, but I still went for a 3 mile easy, 30 minute run. It’s my last run before my marathon and my legs felt great, but my mind was still in a funk!! Can I run 26.2 miles on Sunday? YES, but for some reason I am getting hecka nervous!
When I got back home after my run, I have been watching my DVR’D TBL and now I am getting pumped and all fired up! I know that if these contestants could be running a MARATHON then so can I!
I am also enjoying a big bowl of Chocolate Pecan Apple Butter OATS!
YUMMERS!
I am going in late to work today, because I have a conference to check people in at. I love that I get Friday mornings to catch up!
Friday Morning to do list:
- pack for the weekend
- blog Marathon recap
- catch up on emails
- pack lunch
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Hey Bobbi:
I've been following your blog since I started the POTM challenge and I love it! Anyways I am commenting about the artwork you have on your wall in your house. It looks like 9 different pieces of canvas... I love it! Can you tell where you got it? It's probably a local place but I love it, nonetheless.
