Life Past 30

Well, the Marine Corps Marathon is almost a reality for me.  With just over two weeks away, thoughts of race day and how I will fare during it have been dominating my mind.  This is in addition to be slightly nervous and very excited.  When I set out to participate in the marathon, race day seemed far away enough for me to be calm while performing daily tasks at work and home.  Of course, that has changed and I’ve been feeling more anxious since the middle of September. 

Since this will be my first marathon, I don’t know what to expect and I’m playing different scenarios in my mind.  Reading about and watching videos of previous marathons has given me a better understanding of what to expect physically.  I’m happy to be a part of something so important.  After watching the video below, I got a sense of what race day will be like and I look forward to it.  I’m still nervous though!
