20 miler

ladies, i did my 20 miler and survived. my training is tapering down and soon my marathon training will be over. the marathon is only 2 weeks away! it's on the 12th...and i can't wait. i'm semi nervous, but not really. i feel ready to go. my 20 miles on sat (9/20) went ok, but not very well. i attribute that to the fact that the week before i was sick. i had a fever and then it turned into a small time cold. so i had to sudafed up and it worked kinda, but it was still yucky. i was exhausted afterwards, but i think that was more due to the lack of energy i'd had all week as opposed to the actual mileage being a problem. this weekend i'm doing a measly 5k - race for the cure. and i may do an 8k on sunday for paws which is a no kill shelter here. i'm not sure i'll do another marathon, but i really like the halfs and i definitely want to keep up with training though not as hardcore as i've been doing!

and thanks to all of you, i have raised and exceeded my goals for the fundraising portion!! thank you all for your donations. your support means a lot to me!! look for some pics in a couple of weeks of me crossing the finish line!
