As most of you know, at the beginning of this new year....January 6th to be exact, I started this new journey of running. I have been training for 3 months now for the 1/2 marathon in December and things are going REALLY good! I am proud to say that I am up to running 5miles at a time and each time I run, it gets easier and easier! I never thought in my life that I would love running! I have been blessed to have the best running partner ever, my own cousin Cheryl! She encouraged me to try it as she completed her first 1/2 this past Dec.09. She told me all about it right after the New Year and I told her I would do it with her this Dec. 2010. I'm very excited & nervous, but I know this will be a huge accomplishment for me. I'm not doing it for anyone or trying to prove anything, just a personal goal that I have set for myself for 2010!
Stephen has been so wonderful and supportive of me! Every mile that I ran, he was my cheerleader, telling me how proud of me he was! We have been on this journey of getting healthier together now for over a year and its been wonderful to have each other to lean on! God is so good and I am so thankful to HIM for each day that we have to live that day pleasing Him:)
My first 5K will be April 24th and I can't wait to get one race under my belt! I know once I do the first, its on from there! Be on the lookout for updates and pictures!!! Run girl run:)
