Movin’ on up

As the weeks tick by, so too should my ability to run distances. At least one would assume so.

This is not the case. I am finding it harder to keep my spirits up when all I want to do is collapse in a heap and rip my lungs out. Ashley is keeping me going, and for that I am grateful. Also keeping me going is remembering what and who I am running for. I am running for those who are laying in bed with illness and unable to even get up in the morning. I’m running for those who are waiting for a life saving treatment or medication that our donations and fundraising is going to help pay for. I am running for those waiting for a cure. Because we are going to find a cure for cancer. That is what keeps me going.

I need you to help keep me going. Without your donations, I won’t be able to keep going. Please donate here! Help save lives 🙂

Accountability

Tonight it will seem real, this half marathon madness. I have an orientation meeting of sorts. I have been telling as many people as I can, perhaps some way to hold me accountable? Maybe this will push me to keep going. All I know is it is only 1:40 in the afternoon and I am dead tired….

Half marathon?

I am not a runner.

Don’t be shocked.

But I am in my 30 days of yes and my slave driver dear friend, Ashley, sent me this text just minutes after I posted my last entry: “Want to join the walk team for the country music half marathon?!? Since you are saying yes this year?!” UGH!!!! In all honestly completing a half marathon is on my unofficial bucket list…but right off the bat I wasn’t expecting that to be my first offer. I didn’t say yes right away, but I didn’t say no either. This morning much to Ash’s delight I said yes. Yes to 6:45am Saturday morning team run/walks. Yes to 13.1 hideous miles.

To be totally honest, I’m pumped.
