Half Marathon

I am going to mark one thing off of my bucket list. I am currently training for a half marathon. I am registered for the Raleigh Rocks Half Marathon on March 27th. We started training right before Christmas. It has been quite an adventure. I run Tuesday through Friday my normal route with my running partner Melodie. Then on Saturday mornings we do a "Big" run. This is the day where I ask myself "Why?". It is hard to get out there and do it, but there is no greater feeling when you finish the run. On Saturday we ran 9.5 miles. I never, ever dreamed that I would do that. I have to tell you that I find some of my sweetest moments with Jesus when I am out there running. On Saturday morning when we were doing our last mile we were quiet and I could hear a little bird singing. I began praying just thanking God for all that he has given me. I am so humbled by his presence. I will keep you posted as I continue to train. If you have any tips or tricks please share.
