It’s that time again. Time to start moving – only this time there isn’t any hesitation. I know what I’m capable of and that has helped my confidence a ton. I know that with time you build your endurance. I know you build up slowly so you don’t injure yourself. I know how to stay on schedule, and I know what my goal is….
It’s time to start moving again.
My next half marathon is in early October and I’ll be starting my training schedule this weekend. It will feel good to move my body again beyond what I’ve done the last few weeks. I’m looking forward to the feeling of a good worn out “I did it” feeling again. I’m anticipating the build of longer runs weekly. I’m excited to watch my progress again….now it’s just one foot in front of the other.
My next half marathons fall in October 2010 (Wine/Dine – Disney), November 2010 (Amish Half) and then February 2011 (Princess/Disney), and probably April 2011 (Bucks County). Nothing else is written in stone, but those four are my focus at this point.
The journey starts with one step. The fear is gone – since I’ve completed three others – now it’s about improving on my times. The battle is with the voice inside my head and my body pushing me to go farther, faster and stronger – when my mind says I’m done.
