Week 9- Ready to Race

OK, let's be honest I'm not really going to be "racing" next weekend.  The plan is to finish the 13.1 miles in one piece, I'm certainly not going for gold.  Next week marks the last week of training, and I have to say that I have been looking forward to this marathon for a long, long time, but I will be relieved when it is over!  Training is no joke!! I have run a total of 174 miles for this training so far, and by the end (race and all), I will have run 195.1 miles give or take a few extra for good measure.  I feel ready to run these 13.1 miles but also very ready for this training to be over,  but the thing I am looking forward to the most is seeing my sweet little boy's face at the finish line...that will truly be heaven on earth!
