Training Day 2

Today, December 8, 2012 was my second day of training for the half marathon. My goal was to jog 3 miles under one hour or jog for an hour. I set off from my house with my running app and music on and a water bottle in hand. I told my husband where I would be running and to call and check on me in an hour, because I should be home, and Lord knows I may have fallen out. I've had a sore left ankle that I noticed in Zumba about 2 weeks ago and been nursing it ever since and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot, but I'm still doing this! The park is about a mile from my house and I planned to run a mile around the track at the park and then run back home for my total of 3 miles. I was kidless today and while at the park I decided it was a good idea to run two miles while there and then I would have no choice but to do a total of 4, after all  I hadn't driven there today. What I love most about biking or jogging is my chance to speak openly to God. My faith has seen me through many of journeys and struggles through life and I need God at my side to pull through every workout and everyday! I love having the chance to have a one on one conversation with my maker, and worshiping Him when a good song comes on my iPhone! Today I jogged 4.12 miles in 1h00m33s! Yes sirree! I beat my goal and did an extra mile that I didn't plan! The Bearathon closes after 4 hours which is about 18 minute/mile, I'm worried I may not finish in time, but I will keep training! 

Frankie started training today and he completed 2.01 miles in 24:49, he of course said "it sucked" and that he can't feel his foot afterwards, but he also said that he is going to try again in the morning! I am so proud of him! I know he doesn't like those numbers at all but for not training in 13+ years, we all have to start somewhere. Besides, I relish in these times that aren't far from mine, because come race day I know he will finish far sooner than me! We must also remember: The Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you. 2 Thessalonians 3:3
