Today was a {BIG} day!!! Do you notice anything wonderful on the picture above?!?!?!?
Yes, you read that right... I ran 7 miles today. Woot! Woot! Woot!
My 2014 Running Plan is moving along nicely. I have started getting into {what I would consider} the LONG RUNS!!! Anything over a 10k is long {in my book}. Hahahaha
Anyway, I am really proud of these 7 miles. It is the farthest I have ever run in my entire life. I am just completely blown away by what God is doing in my life and how He is using this thing {called running} to help transform me.
A couple of weeks ago I was discouraged. I put a call into Ruthanne because I was getting bogged down by my training plan. I was finding that as my runs got longer, I was not able to run the entire distances without stopping.
Ruthanne asked me a good question that day, "Do you really care if you run the entire 1/2 Marathon?" I decided that it really didn't matter if I ran the entire thing or if I ran/walked. So, with Ruthanne's encouragement & game plan I have been running/walking. I run 2 minutes and then walk 2 minutes.
A year ago I would have been so upset with myself - but not today. Today, I am thrilled. Today, I am encouraged. Today, I am looking forward to running & walking this 1/2 Marathon with MODERATION and CONTENTMENT.
My word{s} of the year!!!
