Fall Season

We have officially hit October and the cooler weather is here to stay. I am currently in training to run the half- marathon. This is my first time running anything more than a 10K. Well that's not entirely true. I have run that distance only as a cross-county runner where we were all packed on the lovely yellow school bus and dropped off on some dusty gravel road to run back to the high school. Did I mention this was usually in the month of August with all the lovely heat / humidyt that comes with the Iowa Summer. So yeah, I know what it feels like to be running that long and far. As we are getting closer to the Half Marathon I am secretly getting the pre-race nerves and jitters. I have full faith in my capabilities. I know I will finish. I know I will not give up until I have crossed that finish line and the medal has been placed around my neck. I know I should have put more effort into my training but I will leave that in the back of my head for next year. .... Who knows... next year may just be the year of the MARATHON!
