Well today was day, My second annual Eugene half race. The temperature was about 55degrees would have been perfect if the rain would have stop. As you can tell by now that I am not a rain weather girl, but at least I got the experience and didn't let it stop me.

The route change a little which involved a total of three hills that I hadn't planned for. We started at 7am at Hayward field and instead of ending at Autzen field like we did last year we ended back at Hayward field which was where the two extra hills were added in. I some how manage to finish even with the rain and the extra hills and my finish time was 2:05:48.

Yes I did it even with the extra added hills and a unusal cramp in my right calf. I finished and even beat my time from last year. Not my personal best but I am sure proud that I did it from start to finish. Yes I am an ATHLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day before marathon I'm getting pretty excited just hoping that it will not rain. Goal is to get pasta and carbs in me and have everything ready before 7 tonight including playlist. Well ready or not rain or shine I will be doing the race as my favorite quote saying goes "just do it". Until tomorrow.

Today felt strange not getting up heading off to the gym before work but I am sticking to my training schedule and will just rest up for my event on Sunday. I can't believe that the time is already here and I will be racing with over 7000 people in the Eugene half marathon this week. I feel ready for some reason just really hoping for good weather if the temperature is about 45 degrees no rain it will be ideal for me.

My goal today is to eat to fuel my body for the rest on Sunday. I made some spaghetti for me to eat on. I am hoping that this will get me better prepare for the race. Storing the carbs right? I am getting a little excited woohoo!
