The Eve of the 16 Mile Run!

I've decided I really need to be better about posting my thoughts, breakthroughs, downs, etc. on here.  After all, this IS for me and to look back on my journey.  I want to remember as much as I can.

Tomorrow morning, I will be running 16 miles with Jocelyn and Amber B.  I've never run a 16 mile run yet, so I'm anxious to see how it will go.  I've been gone the last 3 weeks so, I've missed running on the marathon route (Hwy. 18).  I'm feeling positive and ready to do this!  We will be doing something different, for me anyway.  Instead of ending at the church, right after Snow Canyon Parkway & Hwy 18/Bluff St., we will be ending at Vernon Worthen Park.  We are doing this so that we don't start on Veyo Hill!  That would be TOUGH!  I'm excited about this change because I have yet to run the last 3 miles that will be in the marathon.  So, this way I can familiarize myself with the route more.

It's 9:15pm and I'm heading to bed now.  I have the some butterflies and anxiety that I get EVERY Friday night, before the long run.  I don't think that will every go away.  I just to carry myself and tell myself that it's no big deal but, really, I'm shaking all over, nervous, anxious, and ready to do it!
