I missed one day of my training this week and most of my running/walking was done indoors walking in place in front of my TV. I just don't have the same motivation I had when I started this. I am frustrated with myself and I know I need to work harder. It's just so hard when I am tired all the time because I am not sleeping well at night. I just come home from work and crash. I wish I was a morning person and could get up and exercise in the morning. I know I would do so much better if I got my exercise done in the morning. I am really going to try and do better because I want to succeed at this. I know I have many people cheering me on and I appreciate the support so much. I don't want to let anyone down. I am going to finish this Half Marathon and hopefully in the process get healthier and lose some weight.

Don't get discouraged. Go back and look at your first week and see how much progress you have made. The only way to train in the morning is with a partner. I want to push snooze every morning but know my friend is standing on the street corner. Maybe you should try a fifteen minute nap when you get home from work. I set my phone and close my eyes for fifteen minutes all the time. It does wonders for me even if I don't fall asleep. Then, get up and go train right after or set a time. I think you're doing a great job. I run a little but haven't even completed a 5K yet. I am inspired by your posts and I'm always happy when you post to facebook so I can read them. Keep up the good work!
Forget about letting other people down. YOU are the only one you are doing this for. It's taken me a lot of years to learn that I have to do things to be okay with myself, and not because it's so important to be okay with others. When I try to live up to everyone else's expectations, I always feel like I'm not good enough. But when I do the best I can and I know that I did my best, I'm proud of what I've accomplished. I'm not saying give up, but I am saying do it for yourself. This is a big goal you're working towards and you deserve to be proud of each step because you are working hard! So give it your best and remember that as long as you are okay with yourself and okay with The Lord, what others think doesn't matter as much as you (and I...and every other woman in the world) think it does.
Thanks Erin and Shauna!
