St. George Marathon #2!!

Last year I ran the St. George Marathon, and I LOVED it. So, this year I signed up to run it again. Unfortunately they have a lot of people that sign up every year, so they have a computer that randomly picks something like 4,000 names out of the people who signed up and I didn't get in. But at the beginning of the month I was doing my visiting teaching, and one of the girls that I visit teach with is running the marathon. I told her how sad I was that I didn't get to run it this year.... and then she gave me the best news! Her dad works for the city down there, and he was able to get me in!!! So, I am training for a marathon in only month! The marathon is October 4th. Luckily I have been working out steadily since the last marathon, so I never got out of shape. I ran 13 miles last weekend, and it felt great. This weekend I ran 17 miles, and it still felt great! I am still really nervous for the marathon, because I am sure that after like mile 18 or so I am going to have a really hard time! But, I am so excited to be able to run another marathon. Bryan thinks I am crazy because he just can't wrap his head around running for fun. When I asked him if he thought I should run it this year since I only have a month to train he said "Do whatever you want to do, but I will never understand why you want to run 26 miles. " I don't really know why I want to run 26 miles either except that it is there, and it is a challenge, and I love a challenge! So, wish me luck!
