The GOAL

Last year I ran my second 5k race- the feeling was euphoria as I crossed the finish line.. never mind I had not trained much ... and it was a slow and not so pretty run.... the accomplishment was not to win.. but to finish. And... finish I did!! But this year I decided I would step up to the goal... a notch- 10k Fifth Third Riverbank Run: 53riverbankrun.com... with training... not just "running". This time would be different. I have chosen to be ready...to prepare and to train. Now I have been reading some articles in my local Grand Rapids Press- most people training- running- with friends and clubs. I on the other hand- am running yes.. but with a not so steady training schedule... and no clubs or friends. Its not that I don't have friends... its just that for some reason... this is a train alone race... I have taken to praying while I run....I am ALSO learning from Joyce Meyers "Simple Prayers" joycemeyer.org ... that it is oky to run and pray at the same time- in fact I am finding it is a really good thing... this praying and running and talking to God! Loving the solitude of the run!! I am up to 4.5 miles this is good- I am improving and increasing the endurance a little at a time- I am getting so excited about this goal that I can hardly wait for: May 8, 2010to arrive... I WILL be there! This is a reach for me...but it is a good reach. This goal is symbolically representing to ME... all the goals I have set and not completed over the years... and that failure and that lack of discipline is going to be literally trampled under my feet! Check in on my blog for updates.... and "See Jane (or in this case ) NANCY run...see her run fast!! I will need a cheering section... I will run for all of you who have ever wanted to run... call me write to me... truly I want this run to be for the lonely OR those who don't think you can.... (for the record you can)for people the ones who wish they could they run but are not able to... is that you? I"ll run the race for you...you let me know- forward a pic to me via email nrb2181@sbcglobal,net.. I would love to hear your story- and I would e honored to run as a representative to others.. This IS going to be a special day...and something special is going to happen ...If you would like to be a part a part of this mega moment or amazing JOY...... if want to run "with" me..I'd love to take you along! Just let me know!
