13 miles
this past weekend marked the completion of my second mini-marathon. i never thought i'd live to see the day, but i actually enjoy running and enjoyed running 13.1 miles yet again. granted, it was a frigid 26 degrees when we began the race at 6:30 am, but that quickly passed and i settled into my rhythm. 2 hours and 17 minutes later, i crossed the finish line alongside my new-found friend Andrea. it sounds crazy to some people to voluntarily run that long of a distance, but there's something completely exhilerating about crossing that finish line. i enjoyed it so much, i've signed up for yet another mini-marathon. this time i'll be headed to louisville, kentucky and joining melissa mott in the kentucky derby festival mini-marathon. call me crazy, but sometimes we fail to enjoy things because we are deterred from trying them. never again!

Beka,
I'm glad to hear it went well, and that you love running. At least someone I know can love it with me. Although, I must say, I have no inkling to run a mini-marathon. But I do love going running. Today marked the first day since the winter began that I was able to run outside. Lovely day! Congrats on finishing #2 and good luck with the third.
Thanks for stating "sometimes we fail to enjoy things because we are deterred from trying them." I think that speaks directly to ME.
Though I do not enjoy running, I do it because I love to eat. But that is not the point here. What I want to say is, "You are amazing, I am in awe, you rock!"
Hey girl, congrats about completing your second mini...that is my goal someday...
