Not really feeling anything

I had someone ask me the other day if I was getting nervous yet.  I am not.  I have 12 sleeps left before I run my first ever marathon.  I should be nervous.  I have pain in my hip and knee and foot.  I should be nervous. But I am not.  These last two weeks I am focusing on strength training and running a little, but not a lot.  Thinking the more rest I give my hip and foot the better.  The knee has always been an issue so that's no big surprise. 

I still think about what an honor this is going to be to get to run this race.  It is only my grandmother's birthday.  I wish she were here with me to watch me.  To cheer me on.  I know she would be proud of me.  She played a crucial role in who I am today.  And God tells me that through Him I am a woman.  A woman with a heart like my grandmothers.  It is also the birthday of one of my best friends.  And I have sweet Sophia to run for too.  That alone is a blessing.  She reminds me to be strong.
