Today I’m off to pick up my race pack. I can’t believe the BIG day is so close. I can’t believe I, the girl that "can’t run", will be attempting my first marathon in 2 short days.
BAH!
What do I mean "attempt"… Let me rephrase that…
I can’t believe I will be running [...]

I’m forgetting something on my food journal, I just know I am but that’s ok, I had a great day! House is clean, (some) work’s been done, made a new mix (see below) and got a good run in.
