Katy Trail

Ok so... 8.94 miles down, 491.06 to go!! right on track! Today I drove to St.Charles, MO and met up with my friend Tom who I hadn't seen in years and he ran with me on the Katy Trail. This is the trail that I will be running on once I reach the 13.1 mark of my 26.2 mile journey October 3 this year. We ran 6.51 miles.. It was a relatively good run other than the fact I pretty much threw up from running under the sun without any water stops or anything.. that tasted lovely.. the view of the Missouri river was gorgeous from the trail! I am even more excited about my marathon this coming fall and I definitely will have to drive out to the Katy Trail a few more times to get my visual landmarks in mind for how far/close I am to the finish line for when I actually run it, that way I can maintain a good pace. Only 154 days until that day gets here! I am not quite ready but I will be and I am sure as heck more than anything, EXCITED about it. Planning on running again tomorrow...sometime.. maybe.. depends on how much I get done on my take home finals and how much studying I need to get in for my finals scheduled for Tuesday.
