I am so thrilled right now!!!!

Tomorrow I leave for Virginia Beach to run my rockn’ roll half marathon. Sunday is the big day!

Of course, I haven’t ran much this week because I am reserving my energy but I can’t wait to hit the course. 14 bands along 13.2 miles! what else could you ask for right?

Anyway, when I get back home I will be starting my training for Disney World Marathon which is January 13, 2008. I’m excited to know that I really want to run a 4 hr. marathon and I have tons of training to do.

To start with I’m going to be doing lots of speed work. I feel a little unconfident about this training because I have set my goal so high for myself, but what is that saying?

“Shoot for the moon, at least you will land amongst the stars!”

I have gotten really into my running again. I can literally feel the pounds melting from my body and is so wonderful to feel this good again!!!

I will be starting to post messages on the runner’s lounge soon. My life is going to be hectic for the next month though. I leave for Oklahoma on september the 9th and I don’t think I’m going to have much internet access.

The other day I found a wonderful park to run at. I meet up with Dan from work and we ran in buckhead. I think seeing other people being active encouraged me more than ever. Plus Dan is a beginner at running so I felt determined to share the joy of running with him.

So………….. thats it guys. Got a long day tomorrow and I’m fixing to settle down with some hot tea and a few lessons on PR 16 lasers. Fun uh? Lots of love to all you runners out there!
