Well we survived!!

Saturday December the 1st Glen and I ran our first marathon. It was a battle of will to say the least. We learned alot about training and things we did right and wrong but I will say that I learned the most about myself. I pushed my body harder and further than I have ever pushed it in my life. I thought I would be disappointed if I did not get the time I wanted but I am not at all. I could not be more proud of what I accomplished. Thank you to all of my friends and family that supported me through all of this and the 2 people that read this blog. You know who you are lol.

Ok we are getting close. 15 days till we go to Memphis. I would like to think we are ready but I guess we will see when we get there. I am looking forward to the whole experience!!

Enthusiasm is a good thing. However sometimes it leads you to believe you are more capable than you think you are. I think Enthusiasm is the cause of my current knee issue. I feel confident if I drop back to the kind of training I know I can do slow steady miles I am going to be good to go. Looking forward to our first shot at 20 miles this weekend. Hopefuly it will be awesome. Whooty Who.

Running is like life, you get out of it what you put into it. Running teaches us to challenge ourselves, to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us find out what we are made of. I have had to remind myself alot as the miles have gotten longer, and as I sit here tired as I type this something that I have put on this blog before. There is not glory in practice but without practice there is no glory.

Saturday 10/6 was a good run. 16.1 my longest so far. Thanks to Glen for pushing me to get there.We are still a long way from where we need to be but getting closer every week. Looking forward to 18 this week. 53 days till St Judes!!!
