13.1

That is the number of miles I am going to train to run! I must be crazy. I just registered for my first half marathon, the San Antonio Rock 'N Roll half-marathon. Sonja, my favorite neighbor, has already run in one and has now talked me into this one. Needless to say I have lots of work to do since I the longest I've ever run is 4 miles. JP doesn't understand paying to put yourself through hell, but I can remember growing up and always just saying, "I hate to run...I can't run..." and finally after my two years at VRT Bootcamp, I realized I could run and dang it, I guess I am going to try and run 13.1 miles.

This will by far be the biggest physical challenge I have ever committed myself to, so I ask that you pray for me to stay committed to training and find the confidence I think this race will take to finish. I say "race" with a smile, because this will all be about finishing, not winning, because I will have totally won if I can just cross the finish line.

To keep me accountable, I will post my weekly progress...and just in case you are wondering, I am totally nervous just writing about this, so pray for me to have some peace about this too...
