12 days left until the LA Marathon. I have a lot of mixed emotions going on. Exicted, nervous, etc. Trying not to think about it too much because then I play head games with myself. It felt really good to get in an easier long run over the weekend. I was supposed to do 12, but cut it short and only did 10 because my body felt tired. For the next two weeks I plan on really tuning in and listening to how my body feels, no reason to overdue it.
Over the weekend I bought my Marathon outfit! I caved and went to lululemon again. Hate the prices, love love love the clothes. Going to take the shorts for a test run tonight and the tank over the weekend. I opted for some tight shorts and a loose, light top. Over the years I have converted from running in soccer shorts, "normal" running shorts, to tight running shorts. I really like the tighter shorts, they hold everything together and I have not had any chaffing since wearing them. Haha, I also think people take me more seriously in the tight ones, I recieve many a nod from other runners and bikers. Either that or my butt just looks that good in them. Kidding!! I made sure to pick a bright top so that I stand out when my supporters are looking for me....I am not a girl who wears pink to run, just not my thing. I wore purple for my last race and that was pushing it.
Looking forward to an easy 4-5 miles tonight, some kickball and then tacos with the team after.
