by far and away the most time-consuming of items on my 101 list, the half marathon is just two weeks away now. i ran my first 10-miler today. this is a big milestone for me, because it’s the farthest i’ve ever run, even back when i was running cross country in high school. it’s true that on race day i still have to go 3 miles further than i’ve run now, but what seemed impossible for so long (i’ve been thinking about running a half for about 10 years now) doesn’t seem quite so beyond the realm of possibility any more. i just keep putting one foot down after the other. and hope i can stave off injury or illness for a couple more weeks.
