Alison- My mom often quotes the following phrase: “People plan, and God laughs.”  And where did I most recently think of this saying?  During the half marathon I ran this morning. more »

Jane half marathon

Jane just finished her first half marathon. That’s 13.1 miles. When I met her 3 years ago she wasn’t sure she could run 3 miles. That’s the point. She didn’t know what she was capable of, and neither do we until we try.

6 months ago when I told Jane she was ready for a half marathon after finishing a 10k, she looked at me as though I escaped from an asylum. But with smart training, great food, a good plan and attitude, she did it, and….. had a great time, and….. is in the best shape of her life. Way to go Jane.

BTW- She only yelled at me a couple times, including a mini-tantrum during a 2 hour & 20 minute run. I get that alot when I push people but I don’t mind. It’s worth it to see people do what I know they can do, and what they never thought possible.

What’s possible for you? Hey, I’ll even let you yell at me if you want. :-)

Jane’s quote, “You can honestly do whatever you set your mind to do. It’s all in your head!”

Be great!
