Running to Stand Still

Ok ladies, here's the deal. The Ocho is starting to go in to complete crazy person, freak out mode. HP08 had another dream about the marathon last night. This one involved running and running and never actually reaching the starting line and then suddenly, as the starting line is supposedly approaching, she realizes that she forgot to pick up her number the day before at the Armory. Past dreams have included being told that the Ocho is not physically ready for the marathon and not being allowed to run, being told that her number is too high and they've run out of space to let people run and getting horribly sick the morning of the race. So yeah, total crazy person.

In other news, HP08 ran 3 miles last night. She did it at a pretty good clip because she just wanted to be done with it. Unfortunately, it appears that a lot of the Ocho's running is turning in to a mission to be done with all of this craziness. Tomorrow morning HP08 and Senor Ocho run 7 miles and that's their last big run before the marathon. Next week the Ochos will be doing some shorter runs, but they'll also have more rest days in prep for the big day.

9 days until the marathon!
