Peter and I decided to run a half marathon. Yep. We’re doin’ it.
I don’t even really know why we’re doing it but I LOVE it. I’ve never been a long distance runner. Im more of a gym girl myself, pretty regular, but never a long distance runner. Its been interesting for me because what Im finding is that my biggest hurdle is my mind, my own thoughts as I run. I’m finding that it’s relatively easy to convince one’s self of what you CANT do. Its harder to convince yourself of what you CAN do. My mother (who happens to be turning 64 this weekend) is also running the half marathon. Crazy, isn’t it? We’ve all signed up for this fantastic training program with Sports Backers. They have a social networking site and everything (I lifted the picture below from one of the pictures from their website), so its pretty cool.
Either way, I’ve decided I have to blog about it. The training program is 3 months long, and in the first week, we ran 23 miles and this week we are scheduled to run 22. Last Saturday we ran 7 miles. Sunday we ran 5. Monday was Cross-Training and today, 3 miles. Tomorrow 5 miles, Thursday 4 miles, and so on and so forth. It’s going to be a crazy ride.
