power of the dream.

exactly a month from today is my half marathon. it's a phrase i never thought i would be saying. who thought i would have the guts, stamina, endurance, and determination to do such a thing, as well as train for one. not me. a year ago, at this time, it was a tiny inkling of a thought in the back of my head. now it is for real. the training is probably the biggest part of all this, to stay with it, not give up, and keep going. good runs, bad runs, overly hot weather, freezing cold weather, rain, shine, perfect temperature days, tired legs, feeling not so good days, you still have to try your best and keep it up. i have felt it all in these days of training, even during the summer training for the 10 miler. i have always liked this song, ever since i first heard it from the 1996 olympics. it was one of the first songs i put onto my ipod when i first got it. i had no idea it would be a song that i use to help me get through the long, often hard training runs, and it is one of the songs that will be on my playlist for the half marathon. it's my, "you can do it" song/motivation. 4 weeks to go. thanks celine.
