It's still dark. The sun is trying to come up but has quite the feat overcoming the huge mountains in the distance. I too was going to overcome those mountains, but luckily I was only going down. I was dressed in layers with pieces of my halloween costume underneath. My friend Whitney and I had planed this run about three weeks before. The crab hat on her head looked shriveled from the cold mist at 6:00am. We were nervous. And we had every right to be. Neither of us had run more than about 5 or 6 miles, and that run was almost two weeks prior. We both had a bought with the dreaded H1N1 that left us weak and on the road to being out of shape. 13.1 miles? Lets just try it. So we did, and guess what: it wasn't even that hard! Seriously, nothing is impossible.
