Marathon here i come

I have ran through the sun, wind and cold but not the rain...and what is the weather like in Prague? It will be raining...good, fantastic! Im already nervous as it is...Oh well. My friend, Amanda told me its 80% mental...so I hope I will be mentally ready by Sunday. This training brought me back into focus on thinking positively, got me out of a funk with a stupid boy and helped me get fit. I have been running since October and signed up in December after my injury. I realized how different running is from swimming and how to train properly (although I didnt follow all the recommendations).

I should have stretched more, ran longer, ran in the rain, done more strength building and ate better but ready or not, here I go. Im heading to Madrid tomorrow and then to Prague. Im staying with a couchsurfer named Eliska who is from Prague. I am so excited to see the city and nervous to run the marathon. I am afraid of the pain in my ankles, my knees especially and my hips (which start to hurt after 4 hours). i want to enjoy myself as well but at the same time, I want to stay focused. I think this is the hardest training Ive put my body through...my joints are killing me! Swimming was better on the body...I will have to swim more in the sea when I come home. The beach will be calling my name when I get home. All right, thatś it then..Prague here i come!
