I think I’m a runner now.

So, the training for this half marathon is starting to really pick up momentum.    I meet with a group of about 60+ runners every Saturday morning to do our training run.    Each week, the mileage increases and each week the voices in my head start up, convincing me that this is just too much and what the HELL am I thinking.   This last week was our longest thus far.  Our little schedule said 5, our route mapped out a 5.25 miles.    This longest that I have ever ran in my life time.  EVER!  I ran in just shy of 60minutes…and finished and had to double check my watch and thought WHAT THE WHAT.  So proud.   Not overly tired.  I probably should be able to pick it up a bit and push myself a little harder, I must remember this next Saturday when we go 6.   Every week from here on out our mileage will increase and I have high hopes for this body, who is still in a wee bit of shock.

That’s the  exciting stuff going on here at Chez Knitpho..    there is a wee bit of knitting going on.  But just a wee bit.    My motivation is all about changing my body, my lifestyle and to shut the voices down in my head.
