How did I get this marathon idea in my head anyway? Was it my hubby or just my love for this silly little thing we call running? As of this very minute I am slightly tired of training. I say slightly so I don't get it in my head that I am extremely exhausted. I do believe that in order to run these huge runs it takes a lot of will power and mental toughness!
This is a conversation that I often have with myself while running, "OK just make it to this next light (yes I do run on some crazy busy streets sometimes) and then Mike will be there with some water and goo... and then you will feel so rejuvenated that you can keep going another 5 or 6 miles..and if you don't feel rejuvenated then you can just hop in the car with him and Brixton and go home. No you can't! What are you thinking?! You have gone this far, so just keep on truckin sister!"
So for this weeks long run on Saturday wish me luck because I am slightly tired of this training thing.

Oh you can DO IT Holly! Yes yes you can! And I had no idea that Stephanie was pregnant, that is so exciting! She'll be such a great mom!
Hi. It's Anne's sis Emily. I'm just snooping around to see if I know any of Anne's peeps. Don't give up on the marry, you've come this far. It is a huge accomplishment. Huge. You will be so glad you did it. Although, there will be a point in the race, usually around mile 20, that you think "what in the hell am I doing...trying to kill myself??" Just know that is normal,(sounds kind of morbid), and push forward. You'll do great.
I think it's so awesome that you are running the marathon, good luck with the rest of your training!
First of all love the famil pics they are adorable. Secondly, good luck YOU CAN DO IT! I believe it takes some will power which is why I have not yet dared to do a marathon, and I have bad knees. I totally look up to you way to go!
Keep up the good work, Holly. You are doing so great and I know you've got the drive in you. Happy running!

Holly you are amazing keep going, you can do it! I can't imagine how awesome you will feel after you have done it and I know you can! Did you guys have a good weekend last weekend? We actually got stuck in Salt Lake for a while, and I am sorry we didn't get to see you. I will come to Salt Lake soon since I am closer. I will be rooting for you!
That is so awesome! Keep on going and it will be such a reward in the end at that finish line with all of your friends and family waiting for you. I act like I've done one but I haven't, youare much more dedicated than I!
Dude Holls you should plan a long run with Chell and Col. Running with someone is so much better!!
YOU CAN DO IT! Just think if you gave up you would be so mad at yourself! You ROCK!
Holly,
Can you believe how hard these last long runs are? Man, I just finished my last 20 miler yesterday and I'm SO relieved. We're almost there! woo hoo! See you there!
