The race is tomorrow. Six months I have been training and it’s finally here. IN a strange way it doesn’t feel real and quite honestly I feel really nervous. I have thirteen miles to run and when that’s over I have the rest of the day to drink, eat, and relax. Then I get up the next day I am out of town and on my own for an entire month. 

Really though this is all about the race. To be honest I never saw this being real. At first I thought that maybe I would back out at the last second and call it quits. At the time I was working at Whole Foods and I was doing 20-40 hours a week and most of my shifts were closing. So I would get off around 10p.m, go home and run. By the time I would be done running it would be almost 11:30 and by the time I showered and sat down it would be well past midnight. For a while that was fine and I was getting the miles in but I soon realized how that wasn’t going to fly when I left that job. 

When I started working at Kilwins I remember how nervous I was about this whole experience. This was a new store, new people and I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to make this balance of a part time job, my blogging (and YouTube) job and the training work in a way where I didn’t feel like I had exhausted everything out of me. Yet I always manage to get surprised. The people at Kilwins are just so supportive and awesome. They are nice and always tell me that its not really about them, it’s about you and what you are wanting. They have supported me and this whole process the entire way and they still are rooting for me as I make my transitions to traveling being my full time job. 

This has been one crazy journey and I am so glad that I decided to do this half marathon. It has taught me a lot about myself and I couldn’t have done it at a better time. 

So wish me luck on this race tomorrow and just in case you all were wondering, yes I am going to be making videos while I am gone so, go Subscribe to my YouTube channel to follow my adventures! I got a lot planned for this month off and I want to share that experience with you guys.
