I just have to do some mental adjusting.
I am really afraid.
I have not trained adequately.
I have gained weight.
I am slow on a good day.
I talked to Javamom today and she was so encouraging. I can walk - there are people who walk this race.
My plan is (at this moment), to walk the first 6 miles and then start running. I don't want to start running and run out of steam half way, so I will walk and then run. Or just walk.
I still have not got my wardrobe figured out which shows you the extent of my lack of preparation!
I am excited about going to Phoenix and meeting Lisa and whoever else I may meet.
I just have to wrap my mind around the fact that my training didn't go well and that I have been injured for months.
The trick is to stop obsessing about myself!

It's going to be fun!! I am looking forward to meeting you!
It sounds like you have a good plan. Walk. Then run (or not). Try to enjoy it!
Go for it!!!
Funny, Dee Dee will go and sign up for a half marathon with no training. Oh, I can make it she says :-) To her, it doesn't matter if she has to take a taxi to the finish... LOL...
Oooohhh Mary you're going to be FINE!! Just have fun ;-)
Above all else, just make sure you have fun and enjoy the weather. Everything else you accomplish is a bonus.
I'm sure you'll have fun, and it's a huge race, so there will be a big variety of runners and walkers there.
We're going to have so much fun!
