Going For It

Per yesterday’s blog, I’ve had some issues the last couple of months that have hindered training for this half-marathon. I’d pretty much given up the idea of participating. Yesterday I was thinking I’d at least pick up my packet and then show up to cheer on my pal, Stephanie Bond.

Screw that! I’m going for it. :mrgreen: I’m running it to the best of my abilities without injuring myself and then I’ll walk it if I have to. It won’t be fast and it won’t be pretty but neither of those two were ever the point anyway. It’s a point to be made with myself. Without boring you with details suffice it to say running is a proving ground for me, something other’s did that I never thought I could do.

So, think of me on Sunday at 7 a.m. est. Send me positive thoughts and energy to propel me along.

What’s your proving ground? What do you do that you never thought you could?

  1. Yay Jen! I’ll cheer early since I’m headed out of town and will probably forget on Sunday morning.

    My proving ground? Writing that elusive novel.

  3. Go, Jen, Go!

    Don’t injure yourself further, but push the limits you can.

  4. Oh, and 7 your time is 6 my time. There’s no way I’ll be up at 6am on a Saturday morning. I’m sending extra vibes today instead…
