Tomorrow I'm running my second half marathon. Well, I still have trouble saying "I'm a runner." I will be run/walking for sure. Here's what I know, though. I COULD NOT have done this 18 months ago when I started the Couch to 5K plan. I COULD NOT have really done it last November either...although I was well into my training for Disney Princess by then.
Training for these things is a LEARNING and GROWING process in so many ways. Not only is there the physical growth and strength that is required. There's also an incredible mental/emotional experience that comes into play. I play more head games with myself. It's amazing. Some days I feel like I could conquer the world and others I feel as though it's conquering me! Still, I'm growing. I am running farther and faster than I ever have before. And I plan to continue to press on!
