It is two weeks before a race I worked SO hard just to get into this race, and it's SO frustrating not being able to run!! Obvs your in the same position, but Boston's much more important!<br /><br />On Sunday though, I went to church and it really hit me that instead of being frustrated, I should be THANKFUL. Thankful that God has given me legs that can carry me miles, thankful that I have a strong body that can go the distance, thankful for loving and supportive family and friends. I should TRUST in God that whatever He has in mind for me is the right thing. <br /><br />Sorry for the rant, but I still believe you can and WILL rock Boston. You are AMAZING so stay postive gorgeous friend:)Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner)http://sweettoothrunner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441321654725706224.post-68239447269197967562011-03-29T05:29:19.748-06:002011-03-29T05:29:19.748-06:00oh girl i am the same way! i am SUCH a control fre...oh girl i am the same way! i am SUCH a control freak and FREAK OUT when things don't go my way!

I finally updated the blog with my ra...Hi gurrrrrl! I finally updated the blog with my race recap!:) <br /><br />Ugh, I once took an ab class. Going into it I thought, "hmm, a whole class on abs--will this hurt? No, it's only a 30 minute class instead of an hour, no problem!" Oh my word my abs HURT for the next WEEK. Any time someone made me laugh or I sneezed I seriously almost cried! Man! I loved it though (is it weird that I LOVE being sore?). Unfortunately I am not good at going to classes on a regular basis, so I don't think I ever did that one again and they don't offer it anymore:/. <br /><br />My favorite Easter candy is the Reese's peanut butter eggs! I don't know why, but the chocolate-to-peanut-butter ratio is just even better in those things than in the original (but I still love those too). I also love the malted Easter eggs! Man, I'm excited for Easter candy now, thanks;)!<br /><br />It makes me so sad to hear about your stress over your legg--but I can totally relate. I would be feeling the same way. Just know that you are a lucky and amazing girl to even be able to run Boston and take pride in that! And even if the race isn't perfect you will find some more awesome races to run later in the year and totally kick booty in those, too!!Erin @ UntilYouTrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148335549002018981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441321654725706224.post-73887596782955140052011-03-28T20:38:33.602-06:002011-03-28T20:38:33.602-06:00I am a control freak too!

If you can't change it, change how you think about it." It's awesome that you're doing everything you can to keep your cardio and endurance up. Your dedication is so inspiring to me!<br /><br />I take a 30 minute CORE class on Mondays. It kicks my butt.. Just wait til Wednesday morning when you try to get out of bed and it feels like someone is laying on top of your belly!

But I showed up on race day and gave it all I could on that day and still enjoyed every minute of my time in Boston.<br /><br />Your brother is right, but it is difficult to come to terms with the fact that there are other races and opportunities.
