Last night, Jon stayed up late with me looking for fast and upbeat music that I could put on my "13.1 play list". Thankfully, Jon likes a wider variety of music than I do, which was so helpful as we put music together for my new play list. Before going to bed, I set out my running shoes, yoga pants, Denver Broncos tee, running socks, fleece jacket, and my knee brace.
Getting everything ready the night before helps me to have less excuses in the morning when I get up to run!!
This morning I woke up early, I'm talking before daylight, to go for a 3 mile run. I got ready and headed out the door. It was so quiet and peaceful to be out and running around the neighborhood before anyone else got up. As I ran, I spent time in prayer talking to the Lord and just simply enjoying time with Him before my day began.
I am so glad that I signed up for this Half Marathon! Already it is providing that motivation that I've been looking for since Olivia was born.
For those of you who might be wondering, I used the Smart Coach at Runner's World to create my very own 8 Week Half Marathon Schedule.

Have you been looking for a way to motivate yourself!? Maybe it's time for you to sign up for your first 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, or Full Marathon!!

I recently convinced my friend to do a 5K with me, it's in less than two months and I've never done a real 5K before so I'm nervous and excited!
I completed my first half marathon in December, with my second coming up next month. It really is a tremendous feeling of accomplishment and is so worth the training.
Great fun and great run!
I think I would really love to train and run a half marathon. Who knows, maybe one day I'll even run a full marathon! I think it would definitely be a good experience. http://www.trainforamarathon.info/about-us/
