Here I am…

Three hundred and some miles since I began my training in August. I have come a long way since I began running again. Really since the last time I was blogging was when I had last run. I had stopped doing alot of the things I enjoyed. (Including blogging.) I stopped running after my last marathon, The LA Marathon, in March. So for most of the late spring and early summer, I wasn’t doing the things I love. So now that I am :)….and now that I am running my first half marathon in a few days, I plan making this promise here. That I will not stop doing what I love, even if I have to do it twice/three times a week. That’s still running. Not training, but running. I have missed this feeling, like I am invincible, like I am that much stronger every time I run.

So now, three marathons completed, one half marathon about to be completed, and I feel great..stronger. Hopefully I will not stop this time. I will keep running, until my knees give out from under me, or some kind of natural disaster swallows me whole.

This picture is from finishing my first marathon, the Shamrock Marathon in March 2009:
