In five days I will be competing in my first half marathon. While I have always been inspired by those who take on these type of challenges I never thought I would participate in one myself. Truthfully, before I started doing triathlons two years ago I would never have believed I would have accomplished all that I have. It really is all about taking one step in front of the other and not letting fear stand in your way. My friends Meg and Annegret are doing the race with me. Experiencing this with them will make this event all the more memorable. Here is a picture of the three of us after our first 10 mile run.
...and 20 degrees warmer in Arizona really means a lot in summer.. You go!!!

ReplyDeleteGood luck with your race, I bet you'll burn it up! Cheers! Oh, and remember to smile when you cross the finish line, you don't want one of those pics with you looking down at your watch!
ReplyDeleteThanks JF and Jennifer. I will do my best to smile as I cross the finish line. I am so used to worrying about looking like death warmed over that I always forget to smile. Thanks for the reminder :)
