Marathon 101...Did I say 5 AM?

Sooooo! This morning, 5 AM came so fast. When my alarm went off, I thought, "what? It cannot be 5 AM already. What was I thinking last night? There is absolutely, positively, no way I am getting out of this bed and going exercise. That is ludicrous. Who does that? What motivates people to actually love to run? I don't think I can do this." Where was all my determination and drive?

To my self: Do you really think that you can run a half marathon? Have you given half of a thought as to what that is going to take? Think about your feet, the blisters and the sores? And think about all the time it will take to train.

Reply to self: No I haven't thought about what it will take to get there. I'm afraid if I do, then I won't even start. I do keep thinking of one thing...I think about crossing that finish line. I think about being in the best shape of my life. About living healthy and eating healthy. I think about how it will feel to have accomplished something I thought was impossible, something meant only for the elite. And to believe that with the Lord, I can do this.
