What a blessed year!!!

I already stated that I was training for a marathon, but I didn't say why. Well, I am turning the big 30 this year and I feel like I am at such a great place in life. I needed to do something that made me feel good about myself. I have always had great admiration for runners. Their endurance, hard work, discipline and even their nutritional values have always impressed me, so I thought I would try a 1/2 marathon. Well, when I told my great friend Monica about it........she convinced me that I could do a FULL MARATHON!!! Of course, I couldn't say, 'I can't do that!!!!!!' (After all, this is my year!) So, I started to train in November and with Monica's help I am getting there! I ran 10 miles on Saturday! It was the longest I have ever gone, and without even walking once!!! My 1/2 marathon is in two weeks and I am so excited. God has blessed me through my training. I am still feeling great and my children see what hard work and discipline looks like!
