Life's worth living.

I did it. It’s done. On October 6 th I ran 13.1 miles in a row. On purpose. Yes I realize it’s been close to 3 weeks since that day. But honestly it’s probably taken me that long to process everything. Plus my life has been pretty much non-stop since then. Thank you for your patience as I’ve been trying to get my life and my thoughts together. The Thursday and Friday before the race I was FREAKING OUT! Like seriously.

And I think that’s normal. So that’s it for this post. I know it’s super short. But I wanted to give one final update before the race. Say a prayer for me Sunday.
