I went, I ran (most of it) and I finished it. Woohoo! Then I took a "break" from running. Like... for 6 months. And, now, well... I suck. Comparatively, anyway. I can barely do 3 miles in one shot, and some days I can't even do that. And my weekly mile count? Oh, about 7. Maybe. Not to mention I've gained some weight. Boo.
So, I've decided I need a new goal, and since this blog has held me accountable on my 30-Day Challenge, I think by posting this, it will be the extra motivation I need to JUST DO IT. *swoosh*
No, no, not the WHOLE marathon! Are you CRAZY?! I'm planning to run the half... and run the entire 13.1 miles this time. No walking. Yes, it's 7 months away... which is good since (as I stated before) I suck at the moment.
Anyone want to do this with me? Last time, my dear friend and maid of honor, Jennifer, trained in Ohio as I trained here in Charlotte and we met up in Nashville to kick some ass. She beat me. :) But this year, she is busy growing a human, so no running for her.
Training buddy? Anyone?
I've been thinking about doing this and my neighbor friend had been talking about training for it, but you have to understand... I'm TERRIBLY slow. My husband says that I'm basically fast walking and hardly lifting my feet. Clearly, I don't believe that but that's what he says...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I've thought about it and I just don't think I can do the whole thing. Maybe next year but geez, that would be like 19 months to train and who does that?!?!
Anyway, good luck! :)
Good for you! Way to set a goal and go for it.
ReplyDeleteI have a condition called cannotruntosavemylifeitis. My goal is to run a 5k in August. I am starting there.
You're going to LOVE the Columbus half. The hills are practically non-existent!
ReplyDeleteWe can carbo load together the night before.
You may have talked me into it....
