Week 12, 13, 14, and 15! Wow, where has the time gone?

I can't believe marathon week is here! This last month has gone by so fast. We have had tons of family come visit and we have enjoyed it so much. Brent's brother, Devin, and then his parents and his sister, Janae. Then the next week my dad, my sister, Talena, and her family and then my sister, Mariah, and her family, And my sister, Kirsha, that lives close came off and on during that time. It has been a blast. It has actually been good for me because it has helped me to not freak out about doing a marathon. Now that everyone is gone I AM FREAKING OUT!!! I am anxious, excited, so many emotions all in one. Week 12 and 13 were my longest runs at 18 miles each. After week 13, I was soooo sore. My feet were giving me lots of problems so I took a couple of days off during week 14 and rested. I am so glad I did because it really helped. I iced my feet everyday and took some pain killer. I am so glad week 14 and 15 had shorter runs -- only 8 and 9 milers. When it gets closer to race day, you start tapering your miles down to get ready for race day. In fact, this week I only do two 3-milers and then tomorrow I only WALK 3 miles. Now that is going to be hard to do.

I just wanted to write one last time before race day. I am flying to Utah tomorrow and wanted to tell everyone thank you for the positive comments and believe in me. I have the best support system! Thanks everyone!
