For those of you that don't know I am training to run a 1/2 marathon (13.2 miles) in April. Fridays are my distance day and today I ran 12 miles. Granted, I had to walk some, but I made it. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to run the whole thing. The longest I have ran without walking is a 10K (6.2 miles). I know it will be a little easier running outside on a course instead of on a treadmill at the gym but man. I read once that 90% of running is mental and only 10% physical and I can totally see that. More than once I have psyched myself out about being tired. I just wish I knew what to do to convince myself that I can do this no matter what.
My long term goal is to run a full marathon next April. I guess we will see how the 1/2 goes this year and then go from there.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Go Redskins!

- I am in a relationship that unbelievably hit six years in April! Zach, the twelve year old in our lives, keeps us on our toes and most days brings an immense amount of joy to us. I blame the other days on the fact that he is 11!
