Impossible Goal

I'm back into running - in a big way. When I finished the diet and got back to my real life, I knew I needed a goal to keep me on track. So I started running again, and my goal was the Dana Point Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. But the more I ran, the more miles I was putting in... and suddenly 6 miles was no big deal. The day I ran 8 miles, and felt great afterwards, was the day I realized I needed an impossible goal. So I've decided to run the Long Beach Half-Marathon on October 12. Thirteen point one miles. Utterly ridiculous. Who in their right mind runs that far??

I love going after goals I would have never thought I could achieve. It does wonders for my self-esteem and self-belief. The Kettlebell Instructor course seemed way out of my league, and I trained like a crazy person and when I went there I kicked a**. It changed my view of myself. So now I'm going to do it again in October. I can't wait!
