I have an announcement. I just registered for my first half marathon. Its in Richmond on Sat, Nov. 15th. Maybe youve heard of it? When 2014 started, doing a half or even a full was something I knew Id like to do someday. Then as we all sadly learned in January, someday might never arrive. So five weeks ago after dabbling in running for years, I customized a 12-week half training program and told myself that if I did the 9-miler by the end of Sept without any major pains, Id let my husband know I was leaving him alone w/ the kids to fly to Richmond and run a half with friends Ive never met in the memory of a wonderful woman Id also never met. Im taking it all the way to 12 weeks and I have all of you to thank. Im grateful to the collective spirit of this group, but especially to the Beast (who knew RIGHT AWAY what Sundays run symbolized), the nudges from Lyn last week to add my name to that oh-so-daunting list, the constant encouragements from my man in TX, the Fri posts from Sensei Bill keeping me accountable to my plan, the jumpin Outlaw and so many others. Im nervous. Im excited. Im way out of my comfort zone. But I cant be this close physically and not make a move to to reach for it. So I am officially in it!
