I just thought that I would give an update on half marathon training (because yesterday was a really good run!).  And last time you got to see this chart the title was Struggle when I maxed out at 6 miles.  Well yesterday we (Brianna and I) ran 10 miles (for the second time!).  That is progress!  If you would have told me 2.5 months ago that I would be running 10 miles by now, I would not believe you.

The perfect way to describe the work that I have put in is “worth it”.  People ask me if I really think it is fun.  I don’t know it isn’t really fun, like “Yay!  This is so much fun.”  But it is so rewarding and totally worth it.  It takes up a lot of time, and sometimes it is more enjoyable than others.

And I don’t mean this to brag.  By no means am I fast, or excellent.  I am happy of the work we are putting in and the reward that is coming from it.  Yesterday 10 miles took us 1:54:47, which is a 11:28 pace.  You really can do whatever you set your mind too.  Chase your dreams!!
