Another 12-miler done!

Is it bad that I'm already starting to get nervous?

I can sing in front of crowds and not feel one nerve, and yet the thought of running this 1/2 marathon with tens of thousands of other people is making me crazaay!

I spent this past weekend in the town I was raised in - Warner Robins, GA. (If you have been there before, I will personally make you a Lightning100 swag bag!) It was an amazing trip, so relaxing, and it was so good to be with family. But it was HOT! Upper 80's the whole time I was there... which made my running routine quite, interesting...

I debated whether or not I would actually run the scheduled 12 miles. "Hey, I'm on vacation...," "no one will know!"... etc., etc... but no! I didn't listen and I got my butt outside (in the evening so I wouldn't die of something heat-related). I made it in just over 2 hours. I felt great, too! Well, the last 3 miles kicked my butt, but I didn't stop, so for me, that counts for "feeling good," ha!

This has been such a beautiful experience for me. I have learned so much; from challening myself physically, to raising money and awareness for this amazing group, along with the interviewing, blogging, and commercials, I have learned so much. Thank you for being so kind and generous and reading this goofy blog. You make me happy. :)
