The "Fit Angels" Half Marathon Team

Today was the over halfway point to our half marathon training. When I woke up this morning I thought I was running 7 miles. I was terrified, but I knew I could do it. I am not going to lie to you, when I heard my trainer, Bekah say that we were running 7.5 miles I freaked out a little in my head. That twit who lives in my head started telling my that there was NO possible way that I could do that. She reminded me of every mistake I had made this past week in training or diet. She wanted me to start walking into mile one. You all know that twit... (twit is my nice way of saying, "Witch with a B!) That twit lives in all of us! The only way to get rid of her is to prove her wrong!

That twit loves to try to dictate how my runs go. Today she was telling me that I couldn't do it like she always does. Well, I didn't listen. I told her that I could because I felt strong. I knew I was going to do it. She let me run another mile and a half and then she told me that there was something biting my leg and I should stop to scratch it. I almost did but realized that there was nothing there. The itchy leg lasted for a few minutes til she stopped complaining about that. On the last mile of the run, she decided to tell me that I had "HORRIBLE" cramps in my quads/hip flexors. For a second I believed her, but then I realized I was just fine. 

I beat that twit! I did not let the voice in my head control my run today! I only walked twice while I drank water, and it wasn't very long, just enough to get a couple of sips! My sense of accomplishment was overwhelming. I had to record a video because I needed to get it out! I needed you all to know that you are capable of doing anything you want. Yes, it's 7.5 miles. For some people, that is nothing, and maybe someday for me it will be nothing, but for now, it's EVERYTHING! And I did it!

Here is my Vlog about today's 7.5 mile run...
