Well, I am officially registered for the Little Rock Half Marathon. I am a little bit behind on the training because I have been keeping my distances shorter(3-4 milers). I ran 5 miles this morning and it felt good, but I was more tired at the end than usual...so I have a ways to go. Endurance wise, I feel pretty good about it. I have run 13 miles at home for just a regular long run, so I know I am capable....just not sure how the stubborn past injuries are going to do. Hopefully with a slow pace and taking lots of rest days, I should be fine.
My plan for the race is to have fun, go slow and steady, walk when I stop for drinks, and enjoy the day. I am really excited to finally be running the race of my dreams! Mike has reserved a hotel for me in the river market, so I won't have to get up so early and drive there. He may stay with me or go home to bring the kids back the next moning. We are not sure yet. It should be a lot of fun!

If you could see me I am dancing around. YEA, YEA, Kim!!!! I will be doing the same for my first marathon back running, taking it easy, making it a fun day. It is about the victory of the return, not about the time, its about triumph and the journey back. I am elated for you!
