Hardest thing I have done so far

Training for the TC Marathon this October is so far the hardest thing I have ever done.....right now its super hot and humid even at the ass crack of dawn its hotter than hell outside making it hard to breath let alone run.....

This past saturday was one of the longest runs yet (and there are two more coming besides the marathon itself).....I ran just over 14 miles and walked the last one home.....those last 3-4 miles were the hardest.....first because I ran it straight.....I did not stop.....and it was starting to get a lot warmer than when I started....I am so thankful for where we are living currently....I have a support system....a small group of runners who are willing to come out and run the last 3-5 miles with me.....and that is the best advice I have ever received.....even though I am not a talker when I run....having them with me helped me over come the extremely tired legs and the voice inside my head telling me to quit!

It's hard to explain to anyone why I am doing this....its is something I want to do....I want to prove to myself that I can do this....no I am not one of the fast runners and I never will be....I have no lofty ambitions of running a 2:30.....its about setting a goal and accomplishing it.....especially when my inner voice is telling I am f%*king crazy......and my legs are about to give out.....or the pain that does come afterwards.....its about overcoming all that and just finishing!
