For those of you who don't know, on January 6th I started training with my cousin for the half-marathon that we are going to do in December!!!! The first time I ran which was Jan. 6th, I could only run for a short time and maybe do .5mi! Well I am very proud to announce that after 3wks of running, this morning I ran 3 MILES STRAIGHT!!!!! I can't believe the progress I have made in the few weeks! I want to thank my husband who has been VERY supportive of me and my sweet cousin Cheryl for all her help, tips and being by my side. She completed her first half-marathon just this past December and that was very inspiring to me, so I told her I would do it with her this year!
I will be doing my first 5K in March with my cousin and this will be the first of many mini races we do leading up to the half-marathon in Decemeber! I'm expecting by June to do my first 10K(6.2mi). This is very exciting for me and one of the best goals I have set for myself this year! I know with God, ALL things are possible!!! Be on the lookout for updates throughout this process! Yay ME!

Thanks for visiting my blog today! I'm so glad you did and I found my way to yours ... I've been toying with signing up for a 5K in May, but I'm chicken!
So glad to know that in just three weeks, I could be well on my way! ;)
