13.1

So I'm going to walk/run Music City Marathon. I'm kind of nervous & excited all at the same time. I've been doing some training which is amazing since I've never been an athletic person at all. Just tonight I told Michael as weird as it is walking/running is so relaxing and much more enjoyable than I could even imagine.

This is something I've wanted to do for the last 3 yrs but couldn't find anyone to train with me. In the fall I had a couple of people tell me they wanted to do it but they have backed out for different reasons. I decided that I didn't care if I had anyone at all to train with me because I was going to do it even if I had to go by myself. I was so glad that I've gotten to be a part of the Chapel Hill crew on Sat.

The first time we walked/ran 10 miles I was so sore afterward but this past Sat when we did 11 miles it didn't bother me at all. I really enjoy going with the Chapel Hill bunch on Saturdays even though they are all faster than I am lol I decided before I started that my goal was to just finish but now I'm really hoping to finish within 3 hours.

I certainly have lots of people who have encouraged me to get to this point but I don't think anyone is as encouraging as Michael. He tells me multiple times a week that he's so proud that I've continued on with the training even though I go during the week by myself.

Stay tuned for the results after the marathon on April 28th. Please keep me and all the other in your prayers that we can get through this without any issues or complications :)
