9 miles tomorrow ----UPDATE!!!
YIKES ... I hope I can do it .. Sometimes I just want to stop after like 6.5 I feel burnt out ..
UPDATE: 10.5 miles complete!! I got a new pair of sneakers and it made a huge difference for me. At mile 6 I ate a bag of sports beans and drank some water .. I felt great the whole way. Thanks all for your support. 2 more weeks to go!! xoxo

Re: 9 miles tomorrow
you can do it. start slow...walk if you need to...
do you listen to music? I figure out how many songs it will take me to run a certain distance and then count them off. It's a good distraction!

Re: 9 miles tomorrow
thats a great method!!! Love it. Yes I listen to music, I dont know how people go without it.
What stinks is that as soon as I say okay Im going to have to walk for a little while its sooo hard to get back to the running. Like I'll run for a few minutes and want to walk again.

you can make rules for yourself. walk one minute, run one mile.
When you start to walk, give yourself a physical point (like the nest road or tree) that you will start running again.
use your songs...walk one song, run three.

Getting past this is all mental! If you have been training, 9 is totally doable. I run a lot and I have days where I need to stop and walk - don't worry it is fine. I agree with Erica and set goals for yourself as you are running. I will force myself to run lets say 5 minutes and then I can walk for one. Next time, I try to go for 6 minutes and so on.

Well you HAVE to do it if you want to run 13.1! 
For me, once I get over 6 miles its like cruise control. Try to zone out and not look at your watch. Don't think about running, just do it. Get into the music! Where are you running? Try somewhere with changes of scenery... for example I run on the roads to Sunken Meadow Park, then run on the roads in the park, then run on some of the trails, then do a few boardwalks, then on the road back home. Changes of scenery makes it less boring and it seems to be easier.
