And the hits just keep on coming!

Hits? What hits? Like the Top 40 off of American Bandstand? (Ooh, that was a blast from the past) Or, perhaps like something that just keeps you down? Nah - none of the above. Just the fact that I'm still in this to complete it and nothing is going to stop me....nothing. :)

First off, Happy New Year! Here is my first entry for 2009 but definitely not my last. I can't believe that the new year is already upon us. Now is the countdown until race day. Just 4 short weeks until Feb 1st...less than a month...EEEEK!

At least I can say that I ran yesterday a whopping 10 miles. Yes. You read right. 10 miles! Ah ha! My running partner, Dianne (who by the way is an awesome running partner and fantastic conversationalist), motivated me into the last 2 miles as I was originally only going to do 8. But believe me, my body was like, "Please only do 8! You told us you'd only do 8! You lied!! Darn you!" (As you can see, my body was not the fantastic conversationalist as my running partner hence why I had to ignore it after a while because if it were just a conversation between me and my body, I would have wussed out at 6 miles instead). :)

So here's to new beginnings! The beginning of a healthier me. The beginning of the end of my official training to the KP 1/2. The beginning of the new year. The beginning of a different way of how to view the world.
