Can I Do This?!

It's official.
Ish.

AHHHHH.
I can't get over my decision!! I'm scared to death, and yet I totally am thrilled with what the next few months hold!!! It's gonna be SO much work! it's gonna test me mentally and emotionally and physically. And I couldn't be more excited and more threatened.

I'm just grateful that I have so many people to count on to 'help' me. To encourage me along the hard days and to cheer with me on the little accomplishments. Good friends like Sin and Becka and MC and Val and Carla- the girls who've walked beside me every step through this type of thing before. For Kare and the 8GVs who hear my complaints and encourage me. And family who pushes me to go for what makes me happy.

And this time, with Chris. He wants it too.

Last night, as I was talking with him, I asked him to commit to me-- to help me, to encourage me and to do everything he can to make it work.

This morning, he said, that no matter what it takes, he will support and help and encourage me.

So.

No excuses. You're all gonna keep me accountable.
I start training for the Nashville Country Music Marathon (held April 25th in Nashville) on Monday. It's my last official day of laziness! ;)

What? you thought I was talking about Chris moving back in? :P

Here's your motivation.....copied from my blog.

"You pretended the snooze button didn't exist. You dragged your butt out of bed while others slept. While others ate their pancakes. You had a feast of protein, glucose and electrolytes. You double-knotted. You left the porch light on and locked the door behind you. You ran. 5ks, 10ks, 26.2 miles. Some days more, some days less. You rewarded a long run with a short run. And a short run with a long run. Rain tried to slow you. Sun tried to microwave you. Snow made you feel like a warrior. You cramped. You bonked. You paid no mind to comfort. On weekends. On holidays. You made excuses to keep going. Questioned yourself. Played mind games. Put your heart before your knees. Listened to your breathing. Sweat sunscreen into your eyes. Worked on your farmer's tan. You hit the wall. You went through it. You decided to be a man about it. You decided to be a woman about it. Finished what you started. Proved what you were made of."

We can DO THIS! It's all part of the illusion............

Love ya,

B.
