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.

Have I told you you are a kindred spirit? I started training in January. Killer but do good. Ran today as well. Are you following a program or clinic? Once again I wish you were closer!! Heather
