Plodding along...
Some days I am completely amazed that I am actually attempting a half marathon! Where in the WORLD did I get the idea that I could actually finish 13.1 miles!?!?
But most days I'm just excited. I'm up to 6 miles continuous (slow) running. That's almost halfway! And I'm only 1/4 of the way done with my training! I can SO do this!
There are days when it seems that all I do is work, sleep and run. And those are the days when the thought of going out and spending well over an hour _running_ make me want to crawl back into bed. But those are ALWAYS the days when I see someone that I've seen out on the trails before, the person that always smiles and shouts "Lookin' good!" as we pass! Or the women that power-walk "Beautiful day!" It's those days that make me SO happy to be doing this, there are days when the MOST amount of human interaction I get is out on the trail! Where every single person smiles and waves. I don't have to worry if I'm annoying them, I don't have to worry what they've heard about me. I just have to smile and wave back.
