Woke after three hours of sleep. Didn't take a soma cause apparently it doesn't help. Layed there for another hour. Pain in leg/hip/foot is up there on the charts. Totally nerve pain but makes the calf muscle feel numbish. Had Troy do the "hurt so good massage". For some reason pressure on the nerves helps the pain. Currently have a frozen rice bag on my lower back. While at work I was so tired that all my nerves were tingling, my face, arms etc... I just held on and thought SGM should be much much much more easier than these past few night shifts. Here is an "ALL STARS ALIGNED" goal for me for SGM. It just came to me last week. Pretty lofty but who knows... At mile 25.2 (one mile to go) I want to see the clock at 2:59:59 or less. Yikes did I just write that? If I do I think I will stop for a photo shoot (not!). I could still do a 9:59 last mile and be under 3:10. This is wishful thinking, hence the star analogy. "Twinkle, Twinkle little star"...."if I could have this wish tonight". Currently having brief thoughts of going on a very short extremely slow run this afternoon. Let it be :D

Please tell me you don't have to work tonight! You NEED sleep! Make your run very very short and fast and envision crossing the finish line...if the clock reads 2:59:59...you know you'd finish much faster than that right, unless you lined up in the first corral. YOU CAN DO IT! Just calm those nerves and make those pain go away!

julie - i think you can do it! i used to think the same things last year while working (slaving) in a bakery: "if i can do this for 10 hours, i can make it through 3 hours of running"

all the best to you.

You can do it Julie! I have total faith in you--you definitely have a lot of stamina. Hope the pain gets better soon!!
