Getting Closer.....
Some of you may know about my upcoming race in November. I was officially possessed I think, about 4 months ago and signed up to run a half marathon in Monterey, California on November 15th. Training has been off and on but Im getting serious now..... I ran 7 miles tonight and even though my legs felt like they were going to detach from my hips toward the end, I finished and actually felt pretty good! I am increasing the miles by 1.5 miles each week so that by the first part of November I will run 14 miles on my Sunday run....then the 13.1 I have to run on the 15th wont seem so bad! I have to focus on the upcoming weeks run and not the actual race or I get panicky! For example, I ran that 7 tonight and all was fine but if I let myself think of having to run double that I got kindof nauseous! Yikes....one week at a time. Anyway....Im getting excited. Its going to be fun. Tiring, but fun!

You can totally do it and you will feel so good when you accomplish your goal. I can't wait to start back running and training...my sister-in-law and I are bound and determined to walk/run a 1/2 marathon at the beginning of December.
Vanessa, you have no idea how impressed I am. You go, girl!
Awesome for you! You'll do great!
Vanessa what a great thing to do! You are inspiring! Running a marathon, singing in a lg. choir, going to school, and the little thing they call wife & mother.
