8 Days 23 hours!

We are in the final count down to 1/2 marathon day!  Getting very excited!! I love this course, it is by the water and has those old old trees that make a canopy over the road in places.

Had a set back with being sick for a week, but got out twice this week to get some mileage in.  For me it is about getting out there and doing it, to say to myself see look what you can do, how far you've come.  This was once just an item on a bucket list and now you are participating in your third 1/2 marathon! Set big goals, set minnie goals along the way to show your heading in the right direction, and do a happy dance as you cross that finish line!

For those that might be interested I am organizing a virtual race. Whats to great about a virtual race - you can go any distance any where any time you want and you get a medal!  To help those that just aren't sure we are pushing a special distance:  1 mile a day for 13 days or for 26 days to walk or run a half or full marathon!
Here are the details:

Jocelyn, #irun4jocelyn, is still having stomach issues that they are trying to figure out.  She is getting her hearing aids this week - which will be a big help in that department.  She is still smiling big every day! If you haven't checked out her page, please pop over there and tell them Alice sent you: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hope-for-Jocelyn/351637158314602

In full swing

Training is in full swing!  Got in 7.3 miles this weekend.  Feels amazing.  Ok yes my body is sore, but to be out there and pounding out those miles again, I just can't believe it sometimes.   I remember as a young person dreaming of just going out and running forever, running a 1/2 marathon - and now I am and have.

As another year comes to a close I choose to focus on all I have accomplished.  And I look forward to what this year will hold for me.  There are prayers between God and myself and I leave them up to his timing.  I fully trust that he has a plan and that when it is right my prayers will fall into place in his plan.  Until then I will do my part and train on.

Please keep Jocelyn in your prayers, she has to go back to the hospital on Thursday and her j-tube and g-tube are causing all sorts of problems.

Happy Monday, may it be filled with many blessings.
