Ok, so I have been slacking in the blogging department! Here's what I've been up to! I signed up for the Provo 1/2 Marathon in June and I am sooo excited. Part of me is really intimidated of course, I am not a great runner. BUT...I don't want that to be an excuse. I've always (in the back of my mind) wanted to run any kind of marathon, but kept doubting myself...saying I couldn't possibly do that. I have turned a new leaf now! I am tired of doubting my abilities. I was never an athlete, why can't I be one now? The only thing stopping me would be myself!!! And I have found a new confidence lately that has come with a big change of heart.
I am capable, strong and motivated! I am not immune to pain...I am having issues with my right knee at the moment, but it isn't going to stop me from trying to accomplish my goal. I am not even looking to finish this race in a certain time, I just don't want to be last. haha! But more importantly, I am learning things about myself I never knew. The more I live a healthier lifestyle, the happier I am. I am a better mother and wife as well. When I feel good about myself, I am happy!!! And I have this confidence that shouts out, "NOTHING CAN STOP ME!!!!!!!!!"
So here I am, training for something hard...but I can do hard things! I can do hard things! I can do hard things! I can do hard things! I CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!!!!!!!
Keep checking in, I will try to post at least twice a week now.

Good luck on the half marathon! They are super hard, but they also give you such a sense of accomplishment. And my first half marathon I just wanted to not walk--that was my only goal!
