And away we go.....

Well, I'm going...just not too fast. The training for the marathon has begun.

I'll be totally honest with you. If I complete this 13.1 mile half marathon it will be by nothing other than the grace of God Himself! Because this just isn't as easy as I thought it was going to be!!

Fun ?? Did I actually think this was going to be fun? Running waaaaaay past when I thought I could run not one more step, and in 95+ temps I might add. Fun is not a word that comes to mind while I'm running.

But you know after I'm done, I'm glad I did it. And tomorrow when I feel even stronger than I did today, I'll be glad I did it.

If you know anything at all about me you know that I've been trying to get this website launched for....well, the whole year. But I finally did it a couple of weeks ago.

Was it fun? Not usually. Was it stressful and frustrating? Many many times yes. Did I want to quit time and again. YES! But now it's done and I'm so glad that I did it. From there I'll build on it, then launch another one.

Just like running, you have to start somewhere with a dream. Sometimes it really just stinks how much you hate it and want to quit it altogether. But then you just hang in there and put one foot in front of the other, then the other, and so on. Eventually you'll finish the race and do something you've always wanted to do but never dared to try.  And how awesome is that going to feel??!
