Before The Half

Yesterday morning, I worked myself into a complete tizzy - and I mean TIZZY. Pounding heart, total breakdown, crying, the whole bit. Today though, the morning of the actual half, I'm just kinda jittery. Might be because it's 4 F***ING am(!!!), and I haven't had TIME to work myself up yet, but might be because today's the day - meaning yesterday I could worry, stress, panic, doubt, and all those other horrible things I was bound to do thinking about running TWENTY-ONE F***ING km(!!!), vs today, all that's on the list is pooing, pre-hydrating, eating, and then running the longest run I've ever run.

Two hours and forty-seven minutes from now (7am PST), I will start my first half marathon. At 12 weeks pregnant. Which is insane in many MANY ways, but has given me SOOOOOOO much of me back that I can't imagine NOT doing it.
