So I am 20 days away from running my first marathon. I've been training pretty steady and missed only one long run. Thursday I ran 20 miles.The longest distance my plan calls for. So finally I am living in the sweet merciful time known as taper. Just a quick recap of the 20. 16 easy miles, two miles of hell and then two more miles of hell. That's how it went and honestly I don't know how I finished it. I'm supposed to run 6 more miles after running 20. I have no idea how the hell I'm going to do that! I went from running 11:30 miles for 15 miles to ending with 14:00 miles! I got home and seriously thought I was dying after that run. I was steps away from calling my wife and telling her I loved her it was a good life see you on the other side. Tack 6 more miles on there and I'm sure I will die. 260 pound men are not supposed to run for 5 hours.
God, Mother Nature or whoever you believe in did not intend for my fat ass to do this. Okay I'm done wallowing in my lack of self confidence. Hey I'm running this for a great cause. If you're reading this and you have donated thank you. If you're reading this and you call me a friend and you haven't donated I'm starting to question our friendship. Yep it's that cut and dry for me right now. I'm usually not this blunt but honestly I'm asking for dollar donations not tens, not twenties but $1 bills. So if you feel guilty now go to my firstgiving website
