WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING, YOU WERE ON MY MIND

Although that is a huge understatement. It has been on my mind every morning I have woken up for the past four months, every night before I go to bed, everything I put into my body, everytime I put on my runners, everytime I step onto the pavement or a treadmill or a yoga mat, everytime I make a new workout playlist, everytime someone asks me why I don't stay out late to party or why I don't order dessert or why I don't have a beer with dinner. I can't tell if I am excited or nervous or eager or scared, but I always keep this in mind: there will be days you don't think you can run a marathon; there will be a lifetime of knowing you have.

Good luck to all BMO Vancouver Marathon runners! See you at the finish line.
