Run Faster


So, in January this year a friend asked me to run a Half-Marathon with her.  Those who know me well, know that I am NOT athletically inclined in any way.  But, oddly, I said sure.  So, I started training and training and training.  Running is hard!!  I did my first 10K race today.  I did not finish first.  In fact, I was dead last.  But, I am feeling really good about my progress.  When I started I couldn't even run, I was huffing and puffing after 30 seconds.  Today, I did 6+ miles at under 12 minutes a mile.  In two weeks I will do the Half-Marathon.  I know that I definitely won't be the fastest but, amazing progress has been made and I am proud of myself!
Also, I always forget how tall I am, until I see a picture like this.   I am an Amazon Warrior Princess!
