Yesterday I talked about the good pressure I have to do this race because all my family and friends know about it. Today, the pressure heated up a little more because I got a call from HARVEY WALDEN!
A few months ago he had posted on his FB page that he was willing to coach people online in their fitness and weight loss goals. It was 50 bucks for the year and I thought, why not? I've always enjoyed watching him and I respect his discipline and attitude. A got a few emails from him which thrilled me to no end and then today -- PHONE CALL!
He was super nice and gave me a lot of good advice about running in general and the marathon. We talked for about 15 minutes and he said we'll be talking again soon. I was a little giggly talking with him but, for the most part, it was a really natural conversation! I am so honored that he called me. He said "we'll get the mission accomplished" and he told me not to worry, that I'm going to finish the marathon like it was nothing.
How awesome is that?! How often does a celebrity trainer call you at home?
If I thought I felt pressure before to get this done, imagine how I feel now? Harvey-freaking-Walden is expecting me to finish and finish strong. I am so pumped up! I'm going to get the danged thing done!
OMG! *giggle* I still can't believe it! I was all like "The only Harvey I can think of is the guy from that vh1 show" and you're like "that is him". HA!! That is so cool!! Rock on girl!! You are so going to do this , just like I know you can!!
