Into the horizon I go..

Hello everyone! Well last Saturday I ended up running 19 miles with USAFit San Antonio. It ended up being a tough run. But, since moms friend Stephen had a birthday, we got chocolate cake after the run. Yeah for little things like that. *hehe* Then I ended up spending the day with my friend Laura. She showed me her house, we saw Doctor Strange in theaters and we watched "Epic Movie" at her house . It was nice to catch up with her. It has been a while since we hug out because of different schedules. But it is nice to know despite different schedules, we can get get together sometimes. Today I went to the gym, and after that mom and I went grocery shopping. So it was a relatively quiet day. The past week I've been adjusting to a new schedule. If you know me, you know I don't really like change. I stayed at the same job for the past few years because I enjoyed going to different events and when I get comfortable, I don't rock the boat unless I need to. Anyway,today I ran 22 miles with USAFit- our last long run before the actual marathon. It was the perfect running weather aside from the headwind. It was cool, and it wasn't raining- just nice.
We where able to run most of the time, and we all feel as one can feel when you're going to try running 26 miles in December. I know I am ready. But I am starting to wonder how I will do. I know I ended up running long earlier than I needed to, and so I am praying that will help me have a good race day. But I am glad I was in a position where I could help other runners. No,  I haven't ran Boston. But, I  still remember that the only reason I got started doing these races because I told mom I would do a half marathon with her. After that I remember  running a mile outside the house everyday to get used to running outside. In many ways I still feel like that person.  That's why I understand that every race is personal.
I know I've come a long way. but I still know I have a long way to go.  But I guess the one thing is running is life. Some days are good, and some days are bad. All you can do is keep moving forward.
Love you all.
