Halfway to the Half!

I did it! I ran SIX miles today. It was defnitely a mind over matter kind of thing.
On the way to the run I decided I was going to be positive and not whine and just trudge on forward. One foot in front of the other until it was over.
This weekend marked two years since my dad passed away. I feel so honored to be the daughter of such a great man. He truly taught me what it is to be a great wife, mother and woman. I owe a lot to him. Although I miss him terribly, I know he is with me each and every day.
I see him in my boys' smiles and mischevous pranks. I see him in Chad's fatherly ways. I see him in my mother's strength and most of all, I see him in my sense of determination. He taught me to set my goals high and never accept anything less. I know he will be with me as I cross that finish line on January 18!
