At first, the size was weird for me, too. I found that re-sizing the picture in PicMonkey did the trick. I just changed the width to about 50 pixels less than the total width of my blog (i.e. my blog width is 1300, so I re-sized the pic to be 1250). Hope that helps. If that doesn't make sense, let me know. I can try to walk you through it.<br /><br />Good luck finishing your training.Clarinda @ Enjoying the Coursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021277904041262711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-17623341754043190772012-06-11T09:19:05.828-06:002012-06-11T09:19:05.828-06:00Not that I know SQUAT about running, but I say lis...Not that I know SQUAT about running, but I say listen to your body.

I would have never guessed that you'd just worked out in your instagram photo!<br /><br />I only did three 20 mile runs leading up to my marathons and I turned out OK, so don't feel too much pressure to do a ton more (can't keep track of how many you've done already!) But I would do them if you feel like your body is up for it! Don't want you to get injured this close to the end!! So if you start one, make sure you stop if you feel anything bad :)Neon Blonde Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16782863353830958219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-63019196061333783272012-06-10T17:40:18.323-06:002012-06-10T17:40:18.323-06:00i haven't done a full so i have no advice to g...i haven't done a full so i have no advice to give, but you look great in that pic!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382432551318810060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-6261405955277331192012-06-10T13:12:02.287-06:002012-06-10T13:12:02.287-06:00So the marathon is a month away?
