The Honolulu Marathon is in 8 days, and counting. I'm running with my friend, and we ran our final long run today. It was so weird to "only" run 8 miles today. We did a 20-miler a few weeks ago, so this was short by comparison. I feel a few panicky moments every now and then, the kind where you wonder what the heck was I thinking 4 months ago when I signed up for this. Yes, I volunteered for this. On purpose.
We are leaving next week for Hawaii, and we are so stoked! We'll be leaving our husbands and kids behind while we go for 6 days. It should be a lot of fun, minus the marathon, of course. But it will be so great when we finish! This is a long-time goal for both of us, and we're excited to get it done. I'm not excited to see the state of the house when we get back. It should be interesting to see how Chris fares with the girls while I'm gone. I'm sure he'll have a new found appreciation for me, at least I hope so.
