Running

So the marathon is in a month and a five days. I m way behind in my running and every time I try to run more than an hour, my sugar drops. Im hypoglycemic and when I run, its worse. I get dizzy and can´t talk-especially in spanish, sometimes I cry and even faint. I was close to fainting a couple of times but I did faint when my parents were here during Semana Santa last year. I am really nervous how my body will react when I push it to do the marathon. I might be going alone which makes me realize I cannot push myself too hard...have to take it easy. My coach, Cristina may not make it- a friend of mine that has been teaching me and helping me learn how to run a marathon. I think she will though. Shes been training too hard to not go. Its in Prague and I have been waiting to see this city for two years now. Back in Alabama, a friend of mine went and brought back a book on Prague, I knew I was heading to Europe at the time and made it a goal to see it. Last year, I saved as much as I could to go to weddings in Madrid, Lithuania, Germany and in Key West on a cruise. I couldnt make it to Prague but this year I have been saving all year long, staying in Fuengirola to see it and Italy. Im super excited and can´t wait to go. Also, I will be running a marathon, maybe the only one in my life. I will run for myself, my sisters, my aunt and my country. It will be my olympics although its not. The goal is to finish the race without fainting. I have to carry glucose tabs with me and gel packs of sugar. I plan to eat those gross protein bars before and after the race. Today I ran 7 kilometers or 4 miles. In a few minutes, I will go run another 7k or 4miles. Will and I ran 3 and a half yesterday and up the castle...that is a big hill to run up. He just quit smoking but beat me up the hill. He told me he´s going to train me for the marathon which will be nice but its me that has to make sure the miles get run. Some days are harder than others...sometimes I just don´t feel like running. If I miss a week, my body is still in shape to run which is nice. Anyways, I have to go run.
