With her nudging and support, I decided I would do it! Today I ran 6 miles. That is the first time I've ever run that far. The last half mile was pretty rough, but I did it! I only stopped twice for a water break. I think once would have been the smarter choice because I started to get some bad cramps towards the end.
I doubted myself last week when I had to do 5. It's too hard, I can't do it, my knees hurt. Those things are true, if I let them be true. I'm going to sign up for this thing. (Registration has to be done by the 15th!) And I'm going to do it! I don't know when I'll finish, but I'm going to try. I'm pretty proud of myself considering I wasn't always a "runner."

Just found your blog and now following. We are in the process of doing a private adoption as we are not able to conceive. Thank you for sharing your story!
Awesome Michelle! I recently became a runner too. I'm registered for a Half in May in Columbus. Saturday I'll run 12 miles for the first time ever! (last September I ran 1 mile for the first time) You'll rock it! I can't wait to hear all about it!
