Stronger than I think I am...

I went for my 5 mile run/walk today and I have discovered that running is an exercise of the brain more than it is of the body.  No, I can't run 5 miles straight yet, but I can run a lot further than I think I can if I just get past the excuses. 

I can do this.  I can train to run a half marathon (did I mention that?  I'm running the RPS marathon in April) because it isn't about doing it all at once.  It's about the journey.

It's a hard and sweaty run, but it is worth it.  Each run gets a little bit easier and each time I get a little bit stronger mentally.  If I can maintain the consistency of my workouts, then I'll be ready when April comes because I'll have prepared for it.

I can do this.  I'm stronger than I think I am.
