One of my best friends and I have decided to start running, like really running. He signed up for the marathon October and we are both signing up for the half-marathon at the end of May. I will be running 13.1 miles in one shot. So we started training and working out and my body is killing me. 

We both decided to do this for ourselves. I want to prove to myself that I can set my mind to something and achieve it, so I am going to. 13.1 miles to run. I will do it. 

Just about everyone we have told we are doing this has said things like, “You?!” and “Do you know how long a half(in his case full) marathon is?!” 

We know what we are signing up for. We are going to accomplish this. I am so proud of us starting this journey. 

104 days until the half marathon.

Excuse me?! No, friend, I am so dedicated to him and in a relationship because……uh, I love him, simple as that. If being apart for much more time than physically together and dealing with all this stuff are a few things that it takes, so be it.

No one is getting it, he is worth it.
