Run #30 - Affirmation



I believe that I am in awe that I have done so well at committing myself to running!
I believe that my biggest challenge with this run was my mind.
I believe that I felt success when I won the battle and completed 4.5 miles instead of turning toward my house at 2.83 miles!
I believe that while I am really good at night time runs, I am ready for the sun to stay out longer after work.
I believe that the right song can really help push me through a tough moment.
I believe that this Savage Garden song is one of those songs.
I believed that I was going to marry the lead singer.... he is now married to his husband. *sigh*
I believe that these training plans really do work!
I believe that each distance that used to seem scary now feels easier each time I go out.
I believe that all of you really inspire me every day when your words run through my head during runs.
I believe I owe you all a big THANK YOU! :)
I believe that a cuter outfit makes me feel like I am running better.
I believe that running up hills isn't impossible after all. I tackled a lot and still maintained the overall same pace.
I believe that my confidence about this half marathon increases after every run, no matter how fast, slow, long or short it is.
I believe in compression socks/sleeves. I wish I had learned about them ages ago!
I believe that I am completely in love with my shoes because they make me feel like a bad ass.....
I believe I have figured out the problem. 
I believe I have chubby toes.
I believe my toe nails are ALWAYS trimmed because I obsess over them constantly.
I believe that when I am running my chubby toes are smooshing on each other.
I believe that it is pretty cool to run so long and have the blood accumulate, but never feel pain!
I believe that I have accepted my chunky toes, and will just embrace them for the way they are!
I believe that I am beyond excited to go to Disney World!
I believe that I am excited to get to meet many of you in person, finally!!
I believe in Jimmy Buffett ... thank goodness the coolest man on the planet is on the mend from that fall!
I believe that the Jersey Shore is like a drug .... addicting and probably bad for you, but I love it.
I believe that 2011 is quite possibly going to be the coolest year of my life!!

  8. I believe awesomeness is oozing out of you.
    Savage Garden ... Now I was almost truly madly deeply in love with them in 1997, went out and bought that CD (I don't usually buy CDs so that's saying a lot.)
    Can't wait for your 1st half and to read all about it.
