Sorry, this one is about running AGAIN. You probably couldn't guess what has been on my mind lately :)
If you would have told me a year ago that I would be training for a half-marathon by my own free will I would have seriously laughed at you and possibly even slapped you in the face. (Because you were being crazy not because I like to slap ;) That said I am so pleased that I have come this far. I know I am not "there" yet but I am starting to taste it. The feeling that it leaves is "YEAH! I did it but now what?" If you know me very well you know that I am a wee bit competitive. I have loved the challenge that this race has given me. Although stressful it has kept me going and I can feel it pumping through my veins. Just writing this makes me all excited :) It is a bit addicting . It's not the running necessarily that gets me all fired up............yep, pretty sure thats not it but more the idea of doing something I NEVER thought I could or would do. So I guess the reasons for writing this post are #1 to put my thoughts on paper and #2 the realization that I can (and so can you) do ANYTHING, and I do mean ANYTHING we want to.

I am trying to convince myself to walk the mile to work when school starts... baby steps.
If you start selling Amway though I'm going to stop reading your blog
("you can do anything, even run your own business" sarcasm)
All I can say is you're awesome! You've definitely shown that you can do anything if you put your mind to it, and WORK for it! Keep it up!

You Rock! What other tricks do you do? You are all fired up and it's contagious!
You go girl!!
You are amazing! Let me tell you a little story...I hadn't gone running for a couple of months and last night I decided to run 4 miles. I almost DIED. My hip feels arthritic and I can't feel a toe. You are totally inspiring. I can't wait to read all about the big day!
I can just picture your face talking about your running and getting all excited, that makes me laugh out loud ;)
What an amazing feeling! I am so excited for you! 7 more days!
there is almost no better feeling than working toward a goal and seeing it through to the bitter(sweet) end! It is just awesome and a great experience for anyone. Way to stick with it. Best of luck to you on your big day!
