Day 1

I know I am copying you Jo....but it seemed like such a great motivational tool to continue to remain motivated and focused on my goals.

So even though I am already running, I still feel like I am ages away from being prepared to do this. I can't even get my head around the fact that I am doing this. The whole purpose in my wanting to run the 1/2 marathon is because I wanted to say that I did it. I want to feel that feeling of accomplishment because quite honestly, I don't have a whole lot of faith in myself that I can actually do this.

I have a SEVERE love/hate relationship with running. I hate getting out there and sometimes I hate being 1/2 way through my run and still so far away from going back home....but I always love the feeling when I am finished. I love the sweat rolling down my face and that overwhelming sense of "wow." My favorite still is running the entire 3 miles (it's my biggest challenge so far).

Tomorrow, I run 3 miles and am trying to complete in 30 minutes. We'll see how it goes.
