Behind

I am now officially behind in my training. Everytime I saw my coach, she said I was to do eight miles. Ive been doing eight miles for a month now. I thought it was some new technique. It turns out, we should have built up to twelve miles at this point. Im scared and I dont know what to do. And Im behind on my fundraising.

All I can do is keep moving forward. The mission is so important. I dont have time to be discouraged.

Tired celebrity

Im jealous that Sandys team trains together for cross-training. We have to do our assigned cross-training on our own. Were up to ten miles this week and for the first time, Im scared. Seven miles and eight miles were difficult. I missed nine miles because of the fundraiser. Can I jump from 8 to 10? I guess Ill just have to. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me that is what I will be telling myself every step of the way. To add to that, everyone is recognizing me from the newspaper article and I have to tell my story and do speaking engagements but so far, it hasnt resulted in more donations. I need to meet my fundraising goal. Oh, and Im also jealous of Sandys super great pictures which were probably taken with her super expensive fancy camera. Even if it was taken with a cheap point and shoot, all her pics are golden to me.
