17 days

Seventeen more days until Mama Duck's first marathon.

It has taken a lot of effort to train & stay motivated. It is not very appealing to step off the porch into the cold darkness for those long, early morning runs.
(Especially when the smell of skunk is very strong. I don't think my pepper spray would be much of a deterrent to them...)
I found a training schedule and posted it on my fridge. Crossing off all those little boxes helps with the motivation a little.For fun, I painted "Race Nails". Truthfully, they look weird and when I looked down at them this morning during my run, I still didn't go any faster. Oh well... My pace was probably similar to this guys':
