Maybe it's this time in my life, the impact that living in Colorado has had on me, or the fact that my husband is a running fanatic, but whatever the reason, changes have been taking place in me. Not long ago I considered a four mile run to be incredibly long and questioned why anyone would want to run farther. Last weekend I ran 9 whole miles...at one time! Why, you ask? I'm training for the Denver 1/2 Marathon on October 18th.
13.1 miles is a lofty goal for me, but I'm actually enjoying the challenge of working towards it. I'm in the middle of a 10 week program, but I only look at it one week at a time so I don't get overwhelmed. Woody has been a great motivator and cheerleader who fills my water bottles and gives me courses to run.
Wish me luck tomorrow, as I attempt to complete a 10 mile run. AM I CRAZY?!! This will be my longest run before the race. (obviously posted by Tanya since a 1/2 marathon is way out of Woody's league)
You are such an inspiration to me!
