Ready to go – now on the bus to the start!
Up and getting ready for what will be a chilly and most likely wet race day.
OH SO MUCH BODY GLIDE!
I expect to write again before GO time and I’ll have my phone on me.
4:00am PST wake up call
LET’S DO THIS!
Rodeo Drive – no biggie!
It was a magical 2 hours with David Cook. The luncheon was SO small and I practically sat across from him!
I guess this means there’s no turning back…
To quote Jessie Spano: I’m so excited, I’m so excited, I’m so scared!
To visor or not to visor
Greeting from Santa Monica. I’m sitting at some cute outdoor cafe staring at the Pacific and palm trees. The weather today is a little chilly, but still lovely.
I’m trying to mentally prepare for running the marathon in the rain. I need tips and advice. Especially when it comes to wearing a visor. Many folks recommend it, but I’ve NEVER worn one running (or a hat and I KNOW a hat would really annoy me). In fact I’d need to buy a visor while out here if I opt for one. I’m very wary of trying anything new on race day, but I also want to give myself the best race experience possible against the rain.
So give me your rainy race day tips please!
LA Bound
After a hectic few days and very little sleep I am sitting on my flight to LAX waiting to take off.
I packed my most important race stuff in my carry on. I made sure to leave room in my luggage for all my race SWAG!
I hope to give some updates throughout my trip here and on my Marathon twitter – twitter.com/jennmarathon
26.2 or bust!
Last Dance
Today was my last day at my gym.
The gym where I went to for nearly 4 years.
The gym where I started running on a treadmill.
The gym where I committed to myself.
The gym where I fell in love with spin class.
The gym where I lost 45+ pounds.
I didn’t realize how emotional I’d get when I was leaving.
I came to realize that the next gym I join I’ll be a fit girl, instead of a fat girl.
There’s nothing wrong with being either of those girls. Over the last few months when I’ve seen overweight people at the gym – in my mind I’ve wished them luck and success. I hope they find what I found there.
