Run, baby, run!

Are you a runner? For about the past year or so, I've dabbled in running. When your husband is an Ironman, it's hard to feel excited about having run a 5k in thirty three minutes. ;)  Despite that, I'm buckling down and getting serious, y'all!  I've committed myself to running a 1/2 marathon later this year and I have begun some training that will gradually get me from barely huffing and puffing out two miles to running 13.1 miles with ease.  Okay, maybe not with ease, but I should at least be able to finish! =)

You know what I notice about running?  It's so incredibly difficult to get up when my alarm goes off at 5:00 a.m.!! But if I can just make myself get out of bed, I never regret it.  I feel so accomplished after running first thing in the morning. 

And as an added bonus, getting up so early allows me to have quality quiet time with my Bible, which is the best way to start my day! =)

So, do y'all have any tips for running a 1/2 marathon?
