Race Time

I haven't really talked about my race training on my blog--not sure why--but if you don't know, I've been training for a half marathon on Oct. 23.  The training has reached the point where it's HARD. Tomorow I have a 9 mile run, and it will continue to climb until the race.  I've never run beyond 9 miles, so next week begins new territory.  I'm so ready for it to be over!  The time commitment is a bit opressive, but I'll be glad to have accomplished it since I've been toying with the idea for nearly 8 years. We have had a shock of cold and gloomy weather here, which makes my desire to run nosedive.  I only have 5 weeks left, so hopefully it won't get to cold.
