I’m excited, nervous, and scared all together! I’ve been running 2-3 times/week for the past 3 weeks. My longest distance was 2.5 miles in 28 minutes. So we’ll see how today goes! I just have to keep telling myself “I can do this!”. </p> <p>I’ve had a good pre-race breakfast: 1/2 waffle topped with peanut butter and a 1/2 banana.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1tGONYKBl93wXyxsAG3yLziLnffJROQwLSwspzkRxxY6RPPR-n7jGwwht5VLfXcIGHtBWatMCUCdtZrUkScCJ7kk23kfqnCRmZUT2GWz_tYoTV5bSjcyA1Jf7YDvSN8JA4B8g3Qv_dSyE/s1600-h/IMG_1405%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1405" border="0" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf54Aq0f_xjZhVdz19_YhXLUoL3yma18p6Xbl-j_B2WxVRLJH7e6HPUMi4IE5qtJTB-7lkRDD7ap9KDVy0wjj3RhtkRobXmv61aogPqvNF6YdxmuV67e9W7IkQJihN0xYoZ1KZ-ADwqVBL/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_1405" width="404"></a></p> <p>Oh and this little cutie helped me finish the other half of that banana!
