Find Your Greatness

I have been training for my first 100 mile race.  I am running the Pine to
Palm 100 mile race on September 15th. My training has been, um, interesting?  

It has been a constant learning experience.  I am experimenting with my cross
training, nutrition, hydration.... just about everything.  That is the easy
stuff.  The most challenging piece has been fatigue.  I am a busy girl.  I have
four children and a life outside of my training.  I'd be lying if I told you
that I didn't whine and moan on the occasional pre-dawn run.  Some days are
harder than others. 

I have been asked the question (quite frequently) "why would you want to run
100 miles?" Well..... honestly I don't really know.  There is a drive in me to
surpass what seems humanly possible. I am fascinated by people who overcome
emotional and physical hurdles that seem insurmountable.  Oh, I don't know....
talk to me after my race and maybe my answer will be better. I just have a drive
in me to do better. I want to push myself to my limit.  And to be honest, I have
no idea what that limit is.  Again, my answer might be more clear after my
race.

We all do amazing things.  I hope that at some point in your life you push
yourself to do something that scares you.  It could be running 1 mile or a
marathon.  It could be getting a college degree.  It could be starting a family.
  There is a way to safely live on the edge.  Try it!  Hopefully I will see you
there!
