So I have been talking to one of my running friends about a 1/2 marathon she is considering entering and she invited me. Me who has not run more than 2.5 miles at a time since the Ragnar in June.
Can I be ready by then? I have some issues and I hope I can work through them and pound them down into something manageable on race day. It is in less than 1 month and it is 13.1 miles.
Well I never did anything if I didn't do it really big and really really hard.--I always start with the hardest to do first (that I think I can manage). Then during the preparation I kick at the sticks because I was stupid enough to do that ...
Well there is nothing to complain about now; no stupidity that cannot be remedied with a little walk-run-walking and hopefully they don't close the coarse before I cross the finish line because I refuse to be carried off the course.
There is definitely nothing more motivating than challenging myself to something that is doubtful that I can actually do but it just elevates my spirit to proclaim: " Yes I can! " and I will prove it. So come see me prove it: Halloween Half Marathon. I will be there, will you?
Come cheer me on and take pictures so I can post them here and you can see me in all my misery and triumph when I cross the finish line running!!!
