Tomorrow, Jelena will run her first half marathon! We are running the OC Half Marathon (http://www.ocmarathon.com/) from Newport Beach and ending at the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds. A year and four months from her first 3 mile run, she is running 13.1!
It has been an amazing journey watching her transform into an athlete. Not only has she lost something like 20 pounds, but she is starting to tone up and get faster. The other day we were at the gym doing 30 squats with 10 pound weights and she said, "You know, I was thinking, there's really no end to how fit you can get. The harder you work the more results you see, there's no end."
She got it, she's hooked.
I am so thankful that I have been able to help her train. I feel honored and privileged to have inspired her and be a part of a life changing commitment she has made to fitness. I am so happy to be at her side as she crosses the finish line tomorrow.
It's going to be emotional. We've worked really hard.
