This is your race registration sign up list.

And this list does not include the Kansas City Marathon you want to run.
And this list does not include all the local 5ks you will run with ANYONE you can drag along with you to at way too early hours of the day.

Thinking back to two years ago when I read blogs by runners I thought people were fricking nutso for running these long races. How does anyone run six miles, ten miles, thirteen miles...
I thought they were certifiable for doing them all the time, without blinking an eye. How could the human body possibly do that?

But I just got out and ran 10 miles on Sunday, no problem. I ran a consistent 9:00 mile the entire time. I run three to four times a week, logging totals of double digit miles. Because of this I ran 525 miles in 2011. FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE.

There was a time not too long ago when I was defeated by negative self talk, by the consuming discouragement. I did not believe my body to be my friend. Two years later I've built up strength and endurance. I can apply that over more and more miles every time I get out there. So a Half Marathon is a complete possibility for me to do on a regular basis.

And the Marathon? It's a Life List Item. It's a 2012 Short Term Goal Item.

Bring It.

** If you have any interest at all in running and live in my area, please don't hesitate to reach out. I will encourage you to meet your goals as I have. It's not fun to walk this life without people who lift you up and remind you when you have forgotten: YES YOU CAN. **
