"Something has changed within me. Something is not the same. I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game. Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep. It's time to trust my insticts, close my eyes and leap.....I'm through accepting limits because someone says they're so. Somethings I cannot change, but until I try I'll never know.....It's time to try defying gravity. I think I'll try defying gravity, and you can't pull me down."

Slowly I will finish.....

I am determined! It is week 3 of training for the half marathon and I am feeling good. I am scared out of my mind that I won't be able to do it, but I will find a way. I have been running for 3 weeks, I am up to 3 miles and I will do 4 on Saturday. On my off days I am doing a 20 min workout at home that I love. I got it from you-tube, but it is done by this girl I met at a class I went to a few weeks ago. She was great and mentioned I should look it up. It is an 8 week program that changes every week, so it is keeping my muscles interested =)

I am finding a good pace and rythym for me, but I know I am beyond slow. What I have learned though is that other runners are incredibly supportive. It is nice to have random people saying good job when I am excited that I ran 3 miles for the first time in my life. They may do it in half the time I do, but I DID IT, I AM DOING IT =) And people get that, and I love it. So, it is with that encouragement and my crazy stubborness that I know I will find a way to finish 13 miles on race day. I am excited, scared, but crazy excited!

    Keep it up! I had the track coach at the university run past me one direction, and then pass me again on my/his way back. Embarassing? I think so. Am I doing it? You betcha!
