    • 1 mile 6.0mph

Today has been such a great running day for me!  It started off with me not wanting to run on the TM, but I did it anyway and I felt really strong!  The 7.0mph seemed a lot easier than it did a few weeks ago.  I just felt stronger period today doing the run and the ab workout. Yay! :) THEN I was checking Facebook and I'm a fan of the Big Cottonwood Half Marathon page when I saw MY name in their status post...I won a free entry to do the half!!  I am beyond excited!  And then I thought "crap, when is it, I gotta get ready" haha. :)  It's Sept 22, which gives me 6 Saturdays, so I think I'll be fine. I can't wait to start "training" for it!  Such a great day! :)
