what an amazing day!  i feel like i can do anything.  endorphins in full mode!  i was so nervous last night knowing that today was my 16 miles.  i needed a sleeping pill to get to bed & i completed tore hubby "a new one".  up at 6am, laced up & out the door by 6:45.  3 hours later, i feel like i could run the rest of the day!  what happened to me.  i totally loved it & felt the power.  was it the crispness of the day, the excitement of trying, the company of a great running partner, the fact that i didn't have my gps watch or the gatorade / energy gel?  maybe it was everything or maybe it was nothing, but whatever "it" was, i finally saw that "it" is in me!  can i really do 26.2, well after today, i think, "yeah, maybe i can".  and for the next 8 weeks, the only thing i will say it YES I CAN.  isn't that what He expects from us when He gives us a task?  as a friend said, He will never have me do something that He won't provide the grace & strength i need to do it.  the last few months is showing me so much about who i am; even though i doubt what i can do, there's always a place in me, deep down, that can do it!  let's turn the negative self-talk off, at least for the next 8 weeks or so & step it up!  WILL DO!
