It allowed me to not get tired AND come away with some awesome pics. Maybe look at this as just a fun opportunity to take lots of pics?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100746061554733157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899266033543468974.post-89954477107100403542010-12-21T12:07:25.756-06:002010-12-21T12:07:25.756-06:00just have fun in your marathon!! your training an...just have fun in your marathon!! your training and experience will get you through. keep a positive mind and have fun with it.Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899266033543468974.post-86794483979940334112010-12-20T18:49:35.937-06:002010-12-20T18:49:35.937-06:00a. i agree with marlene

Enjoy the taper (and holidays!), and remember that all the work you've put in will pay off.Gabrielle Viscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137868181092485737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899266033543468974.post-28486302618280980202010-12-20T17:56:27.038-06:002010-12-20T17:56:27.038-06:00I wouldn't worry too much about your training....I wouldn't worry too much about your training. As long as you go into it for fun/experience, Disney and the crowds will carry you through it. The long highway stretches can be brutal so try to buddy up. Carry your camera, take it REALLY slow on Saturday and you'll get through it!Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230997094889375925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899266033543468974.post-75250867082523679262010-12-20T09:17:32.993-06:002010-12-20T09:17:32.993-06:00I totally believe you can do it.

I know that even though your training hasn't gone as planned, as long as you make it to your race you're going to love yourself for it and succeed! I hope you can lift your spirits and finish out Christmas wonderfully!Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16119699303274909243noreply@blogger.com
