I'm running a half marathon

I got a copy of Runner's World Magazine in the mail and read it cover to cover. I read a tip from Jeff Galloway's page titled "The Excuse-and how to beat it"...that was all the motivation I needed! He says runner's come in all shapes and weights! It was that sentence that changed my thinking. After a trip to the library for training guides, consulting with my husband(the coach!), and a trip to office max for a calender, I am in training! This is a challenge for me because I find myself overweight (how did that happen!), completely insecure about my running ability, a full time student, a mother of 4, and wife of 1 hard working husband. I must overcome my insecurities, make the time, and prove to myself that I can do this!
