Strong

Going to pat myself on the back - I reached my goal for the week yesterday and ran 6 miles!  Woo hoo!

Now, on to tackle this week's goal - 7 miles... no wimps around here!

My Own Worst Enemy

This is week 4 of my half marathon training.  And I guess I keep expecting it to get easier.  But I also think I need to realize that running has never been easy for me, and that this just isn't ever going to be "easy"...

I also realized this morning, that I am my own worst enemy.  I have probably mentioned before that I think I can't go any further, so I don't.  And I KEEP doing that!  You'd think after a year of running I'd stop with the negative thinking, but no.  I still sabotage myself on almost every run.

So, here's my pledge to myself again that I'll say I CAN.  I have no other choice.  I am strong, I am determined and I don't like to fail.  So, I will do this.  And I also need to remind myself that this is supposed to be fun.  I'm not running to win the race.  I'm doing it to prove to myself that I can - no matter how long it takes me to cross that finish line!  I can do this!!
