Butterflies are a fluttering...

Sunday, November 11, 2012 is a milestone for me.  I will be running my first half marathon.  Butterflies have officially taken my stomach hostage.  I've been training for months.  I've slowly built up my mileage like you are supposed to.  I have two training runs of 13.1 miles and one of 15 miles under my belt.  I know I can do the mileage.  That is what I keep telling myself - over and over each time those pesky little butterflies start to flutter.  My mantra for the day, thank you Shania Twain, will be "Today is your day, nothing can stand in your way."  If you haven't heard her song Today is Your Day I recommend you give it a listen.
