I put this picture up, in hopes that I will be inspired. This is me (obviously) in the middle of one of the 10K's I ran last year. Very happy, and all SMILES!!!! I'm hoping that this will be me tomorrow, on mile 13!!!! I heard somewhere that running, was 90% mental, and 10% physical....I definitely believe that to be true. I experienced that while on my training run yesterday morning. My mind tries to tell my body that I can't do it....so I am constantly reminding myself and saying in my head..."I can do this...I am STRONG!!!" I am SO greatful for a good husband who is so supportive and keeps telling me that I can do it. I can't wait to cross that finish line and be in the arms of my hubby and kids..it will be quite the rush.

Good luck tomorrow! You can totally do it.
You ROCK! You can do anything, especially physical things, I mean mental, since that is what it takes. Good luck! :) ♥
i am by no means a runner but it's been my experience that being in a race and having competitors gives you an increased level of energy, stamina and mental strength. being mentally strong = physically strong. now for the real secret....nike shoes!(and feather your bangs if you have the time!:)
Way to go Anissa! I could never do that. And you look way skinny, by the way! Ü
