13.1

My new goal is to run 13.1 miles. A half marathon. I think I can do it. No, I know I can do it. With proper training anything is possible. I've already bettered my pace by a minute since February, so now I just need to keep going.

Today I passed on the great feeling Megan gave me during the Cherry Blossom 10-miler by cheering on Alex at the Nike Women's Half.

It was inspiring, and I am more motivated than ever before to keep running. I have to make sure I run before 10:00am and after 6:00pm if I am running outside, but there is always the gym, and I have UPF clothing, so I can make sure I am protected if I do run outside. I can do this. And next year, I will be one of those crossing that finish line (if I get in the lottery, which I am assuming I will!).
