There is less than 1 week for the half-marathon.
I can't believe I am doing this again... I can't say I love running day-to-day-training for the "Halves," but it's so much fun when you are actually doing it, then the amazing feeling that you just ran further than most of your friends have ever done in 3.5 hours (or whatever the time limit it.) That is if, most of your friends aren't running next to you, then that's altogether another feeling.
People have asked me what my motivation was, especially when I did the Disney half (and a bit of a reflection on it)- I thought back to my years in High School, when I had a coach tell me that, "Instead of playing baseball, I'd be do better in front of the television." He said that after some of my teammates saw me walking laps around the school (I wasn't even close to physically fit.) That's what really kept me going. I knew at the beginning that if I made it to 6 miles I would be content. But after passing the exit gates at Epcot (6 mile marker), I realized I could really do this whole thing. It was one of the hardest thing I have ever (physically) had to do, but so say the least, I am proud of my medal that I got that weekend and will jabber to anyone that asks about it.
At some point in the short future, I will elaborate on that through my mind during that race.
