Tomorrow is my last long run before my first half marathon, 14 miles, then we taper for a week. I have been training with a running group and we do our long runs together in pace groups every Saturday. I have family coming from out of state for the state football game tomorrow, a 3 hour drive away. My wonderful pace group is leaving with me at 5:30am instead of 6:30am so that I can do both my run and the game. For me this was one of those, you know your a runner when... moments. Those 14 miles will take my pace group 4+ hours. For many it would be easy to say, I have a family event Ill make up my run, but running is not Ill do it when I have time for me. Running is my happy time, my sport, often my quiet prayer time and my running group has become my 2nd family. Keeping to that training schedule does not only help your goals but your heart as well. From mine to yours, hoping you all have wonderful, safe runs this weekend! Running isnt everything but dont feel bad about it being on the whats important list too! #megsmiles
