Half Marathon Finds

Hey ya half marathoners - some links to enjoy!

• Lessons learned by a new half marathoner, Simply Fabulous - good reminders for any half marathoner.
• Why I Run post from "Baseball is proof God loves us" has a great statement about halfs: "And that's why I run halfs. They are enough of a challenge that I have to make myself run a fair distance to train for them, but manageable enough that I don't have to kill myself for them."
• Suzy, from The Runs blog had a great post why she runs.   Do go read it for yourself.  But another thing caught my eye on her profile, in her description of why she runs:  "It's the one quiet moment in my day, where I can be alone, and listen to God. I am so thankful for my ability to run, and I will do it as long as I am able."
• Mrs. Fatty Pants has a great list of reasons why she keeps running, losing weight and trying - love the whole list especially her chub-rub reason and her last one of "So that I can say I stuck with it, even when the going got tough! Just like with running - I'm going to finish what I start."
• A must read!  Great poem by Shut Up and Run of why she runs.   An instant classic!

Right now, I'm longing for the melting sun & exhausting heat. But, I'm sure I'll change my mind in a few weeks and I'll be wishing for the ice cold air & killer winds I wished away a few weeks ago.
