It's here it's here it's here!!!
My crazy, marathon running in Europe trip is here faster than I can believe! Am I ready? Not at all.
I leave for Scotland in less than two weeks, determined to run a marathon. This will be marathon number 3, and I've never felt so unprepared in my life. Training for a race in the south during the summertime, with horrendous heat and humidity, has been beyond terrible. I wish, more than you can ever know, that I could stand to run on a treadmill in the air conditioning. I just can't do it.
So I've been up at 4am, drenched in humidity, and covered from head to toe in mosquito bites. And I've never felt so unprepared in my life. Running has been a struggle, combined with a common running injury that involves a lot of low back pain and physical therapy. This race will be the biggest adventure ever. I know exactly what I'm getting into, and I'm nervous.
In the end, I refuse to back out now. So ready or not, here I come Scotland. No matter what happens, it will be an adventure. And who knows? Maybe I'll discover my super power in the process.
