I feel like such a newbie when it comes to running. I’m slow. I am still working on doing a half marathon, but in truth, I am not that much of a newbie. I have been running off and on (had a baby in there) for 8 years. Tomorrow I am doing a race I originally wanted to do five and a half years ago…the time has finally arrived.
Tomorrow morning the whole family is joining me at a race about 40 minutes from here that I originally saw advertised at another race I did on December 10, 2011. It is the Angel’s Place Race. It raises funds for homes for adults with developmental disabilities.
I love the area we will be running in, minus the comments about hills, and somehow, I feel like I am keeping a promise to myself. I ran 6.2 miles (10k) earlier this week so I know I can do the distance, but as always, I am doubting myself. What if this twinge in my knee means it is giving out on me? What if I am dead last? What if I embarrass myself and my family on my birthday, no less?
On a gentle run Thursday night as my final preparations for my 10k
Only one way to know, to get out there and run. One foot in front of the other.
Survive til you Thrive!
