Twas the Night Before...

The TowneBank 8K...a part of the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon weekend. It is my first race of the season and my training for longer and more varied distances. I feel so lucky to be supported by so many wonderful friends and family. Thank you so much! I am also so excited to have my dear friend Sue along with me tomorrow. It will be her first race since she started running again. I am so proud of her and can't wait to celebrate our victory at the finish line. Her folks live just 20 min away and have been such amazing hosts. See you all tomorrow on the other side of 5 miles. I am aiming for 45 - 52 min for completion. Wish me luck :)

Less Than 12 Weeks

On Sunday I realized....and panicked a bit....that I am now only 12 weeks from my very FIRST half marathon. That's 13.1 miles folks! I know I ran 16 in the Ragnar so why does this intimidate me? Well the Ragnar was broken up into 3 chunks.....and I have some 10-12 hours in between....this is all at once! But here's the good news....I trust in training. And I trust in my love of running. If I put those two together.....I will certainly not fail. And my ONLY goal.....is to finish. I want to cross that finish line....see my two sweet little boys....and my mom and dad.....and know that I have accomplished something big....something that they will not forget for a long time to come. And I will have done it with sheer determination and preparation. Stay tuned for my prep work up until then....starting with this Saturday's 8K at Virginia Beach!
