I have always wanted to run a half marathon.
So I'm going to.
Tomorrow.
I've been running my little booty off (literally)
since October when my sister convinced me to
run the Sedona Marathon with her.
We're all about reaching our goals this year, right?
There were so many times that I wanted to make excuses
so I could skip out on running for the day.
But, I never did.
You know what I'm REALLY scared about?!
Sedona has higher elevation,
is mostly uphill,
and is WAY colder than Phoenix.
Shoot.
I just hope someone doesn't have to push me in a wheel chair to the finish line :)
Husband keeps reminding me to have "good self talk",
which means to pump myself up positively!
Hey, when those miles start to wear on me,
it's nothing that a little Miley Cirus "It's the Climb" can't fix.
That's embarrassing. I just revealed my inner most seceret.
My tuned-filled I-pod and knee braces are going to be my life savers tomorrow.
Wish me luck :)
Have a GREAT weekend!
Don't forget to email me your CHALLENGE results- ashley.theshineproject@gmail.com
If I'm not back by Sunday... send a search party.
