Pumped

I really don't remember feeling this pumped for my marathon back in May.
I had a lot going on
A lot on my plate
I was determined then
but even more so now
I got my game face on
and I am ready to rock out those 26.2 miles
I know the pain
I know how mile 23 feels
I know I will make it
I am ready for this
looking forward to this
ready to lace up my shoes
walk out of the hotel
in to the chilly air
and run
and not stop for four hours and forty-five minutes
until I reach the finish
with my arms in the air
and a huge smile on my face
Des Moines, here I come.
