I've been avoiding this post for months now for obvious reasons...I look horrible!!! Consider this a scary Halloween post! I ran a half marathon a few months ago with Kirsten and Mindy and have to say something about it so here you go. My goal was to beat Julia Roberts' half marathon time and I did it!!! I think it was a great goal. Now I can proudly say...In your face Julia!
Seriously, I am so thankful for this experience. I never thought that I could run before this and wasn't even going to attempt it. I started walking and jogging in intervals. I would do 4 min running/ 2 min walking. I just kept increasing my time until by the marathon I was doing 1 mile running then 1 minute walking breaks. This experience was so empowering for me. I was able to do something that I truly thought was impossible for me. It really shifted my thinking and made me realize that I can do more than I thought possible.
