Panic Mode

Ready or not....here comes the Atlanta 13.1!

The Atlanta 13.1 half-marathon is a mere 5 days away and I have officially hit panic mode! I know I can finish the 13.1 miles...just worried about finishing in the allowed time of 3 hours &30 minutes. I will be totally and completely humiliated and embarrassed if I have to board the "sag wagon" (come on, couldn't they come up with a better name) because I can't keep up with the back-of-the-pack pace team. I know I am more prepared for this half than with my first one in March, but there wasn't a time limit on that one. It took me 3 hours, 53 min, and 17 seconds to do the one in March and I have to be able to complete this one in 3 hours and 30 min.,..that's shaving almost 2 min off each mile! I know I've gotten some faster, but I don't know if I've gotten that much faster!

So...to help keep me positive and encouraged...here's my list of all the reasons I am going to knock this half-marathon out..meaning, I'm going to finish (and still be alive) in the allotted time. ...

-I've already done a half so I know what to expect.

-I've trained so much more for this one. 

-I'll have some magic sports beans with me!

-There is a pace team I can walk with.

-And...because I rock!!!

Just going to keep the little engine that could in mind....

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!
