I guess I have to say, the past few weeks of initial training have really made me understand the commitment I've taken on, and how much my daily re-commitment is needed for me to finish this crazy race. :)
I used to be a 5' tall 162lbs at my highest weight, and thought I'd never ever EVER be able to run a mile - let alone take on a marathon. So this is all new, scary, exciting, overwhelming, blissful, empowering and anything else you can describe a right of transition in your life.
My friend Jamie likened it to having her baby... she said it's a lot like labor... you'll be out of your mind, in pain, crying, laughing and not know how you're gonna get through it... but when you do, it's one of the most (if not the most) rewarding moment of your life.
I'm hoping for all of that... and with all this running, the emotional, spiritual and mental journey as well.
