Take Two

I’ve decided to run another half marathon. It’s actually one month from today in Joplin, MO. It’s funny because right after my half in OKC, I had the biggest rush for about a week or so. That’s when I decided I wanted to run another one. But after that wore off, I have to admit that I began to wonder why on earth I signed up to do another half.  I mean this is supposed to be my down time right? Oh well, I got to take a bit of a break and it’s good for me to have a goal to train for. Otherwise, I may be slacking off more than I should be. Overall I’m excited to run another race. Excited and scared because this run I’m doing alone. I hope that I can find the motivation I need within myself to finish the race. It’s as much of a mental challenge as it is physical for me. Tomorrow I leave for Portland, OR to visit my little brother. I’m so excited. I hope I can find a trail to run my 6 miles on somewhere there. The good thing about running is you can pretty much do it anywhere, especially one of the best running cities in America! Portland is also where I plan to run my full in October so it will be nice to get a feel for running in this city and to see the streets where the marathon will take place.  I look forward to coming back home and getting into the groove of training again so that I'm prepared for the half in Joplin!
