So...yea...I signed up to run this...a half marathon...something that involves the word marathon in it. For those who may not know, a half marathon is 13.1 miles (a marathon is 26.2 miles). It's a lot of miles. It's 6.1 miles more than I've ever run before. Though being I've run 7 miles before, at least I have less than half the miles to go than I've ever run. That's something...right? RIGHT?
So, between now and February 27, 2010 at 6:00 a.m. in the morning, I have to train to run 13.1 miles. I have 16.5 weeks to do it. Not an impossibility, but it seems that way. But, I have the best coach I could have, so that's something. And she's already got my tiara for the race...at least that's what she tells me. ;-)
The next few months should be interesting. I need to up my weight loss game and get those running shoes on consistently. All around the biggest food holidays of the year. Hopefully, this half marathon training will help me get through them with a modicum of success.
should santa be getting you a new pair of sneakers for this training? and some cold weather running gear? ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I just got new sneakers about a month ago, so I'm good there. And last Christmas Santa was nice enough to provide running gloves, hat, and cold compression shirt. Guess he knew more than I did. ;-)
