We ran 6 miles today. We back-tracked from the 8 last week because we will be adding more milage for our mid-week runs. I found myself running more this time than last time. I am now believing the others when they say it gets easier each time you go out there. Also, I keep this quarter-sized medallion in my pocket that has "Faith" on one side and a cross on the other. When ever I get sluggish, I reach for it and remember why this is all worth it. Of course, the wrist bands we wear are pushers, too.

It was SO humid today. I think I might have exercise-induced asthma. I find it so hard to breathe and it's almost as if when I breathe, it's useless to me. I need to see a doc and ask him about it.

I wore my Team in Training jersey out to Target today to grab some stuff and I got stopped by another woman who has done a past half marathon. She was so excited to see me doing this. I told her about Faith and she is eager to donate to the cause. AMEN! I pray daily for God to help me raise this money. I even got a call from the church about a possibility for me to have a blurb in the newsletter weekly to see if anyone wants to help out. Also, a fellow co-worker is going to get with me about getting some possible companies to help sponser the team. I really hope those all come through. If I get to August 18th and I have not nearly the money, I will have to drop out. :( I don't want to be doing all this training to just drop out.

Thanks for reading and until next time, God bless!
