Those who don't know me probably don't know that I've been training for a half marathon this month. I started back before our transfer, but then had to put it off for a while so I could go through the actual transfer itself. After the transfer was not successful, I was too bummed to get back into it...but in December it was time again. I wasn't sure I'd be able to do it since the marathon was January 17th.
I started running 3 miles at the gym and quickly worked my way back up to 5 miles. I've now been out for a couple of 8 mile runs with my parents and today I pulled off 10 miles!!! Woot! I'm so excited. :)
The marathon is a week from tomorrow and I can't believe I'm actually going to do this. It's pretty surreal - 13.1 miles seems like quite a daunting task. But it feels good to know I will overcome such a goal.
I can't wait to let you all know how it goes next week! Right now, I need a shower! :)

Wow! That takes some guts and commitment.
I'll be out there cheering for some other folks I know who are running the race. I'll keep an eye out for you if you let me know your pace. You will love it! What an accomplishment!
