It is funny what a difference a week, a month, even 11 weeks can make. When I started on my half marathon training, I knew it would be difficult as the farthest I'd ever ran was 3.5 miles. Over the past 11 weeks, I have had a few hard runs, even one last week for 9 miles that made me doubt I was going to be able to do this. Then as if the the planets are starting to align I ran my 10 miler today. The same path I'd run all the weeks before....but today I ran it twice..to get to my 10 miles. It's funny....8 or 9 weeks ago when I had to run 5 miles, it was a struggle....My side ached, I had to use the bathroom, I wanted any excuse to walk just a bit. This hill is too big...on and on...Today on that same 5 mile path I felt like say, "BRING IT!" I was running so light and effortlessly.
Seriously....last year at this time....my mile was 15 mins..... Today I'm running 5 miles for my week day runs and today finished a 10 mile long run!!! WOW!
I know next weekend is going to be the best run of my life...I am so excited.
Here is a little taste for what I'm in for:
I'm so glad I took this journey...it has been amazing. I also want to thank so many people.
*My husband for being my training partner and pushing me to a place I never in a million years said I'd go!
*My friend Ashley, who is my running inspiration...Without here push to ask for someone to run it I'd probably never had done this!
*To all my family and friends who constantly tell me how awesome this is....
*To the little voices of people in my past who never thought I'd do this or how crazy I was......it was inspiration...
*To the law of attraction.....anything is possible if you just ask for it and believe it is yours.....
*The running buddies I have, who help me with little tips and tricks.....
*COUCH TO 5k
*Anytime fitness
*THANK god for Thorlos
*Under armor
*BODY FOR LIFE
*PROMAX
* Hal Higdon
