18 Days To Go

I can do this.  I can do this! Eighteen days left.  And I only have about 10 more runs to go!  But honestly, I'm having a hard time getting "pumped up" about the big day or the remaining of my training for that fact.  I can do this!!!!  I Will do this. 

After taking *3* days off (shamefully), I ran 5-miles today.  It took me 48 and a half minutes.  It was pretty hard.  But I suppose I should have expected that after taking 3 days off.  During my run I tried to think about the ways God has blessed me this week.  My small group asks this every week.  It seems like it should be a pretty easy answer.  After all, I am incredibly blessed with a great family, great friends, great job, great church, a great life in all.  But when you get to the specifics of how God blesses you from day to day, it makes you think harder instead of just stating generalities.  It definitely kept my mind of the difficulties of today's run and on positive things.

Back to it tomorrow.  There's a hard few days of running ahead of me for slacking the first of the week.
