Moving on...

So, I had a weird emotional breakdown in my last post. I still am struggling a bit with it but I am trying to move on. I even started my half marathon training...yes, I said that...half marathon training. I started a 12 week program for beginners but actually have like 16 weeks before the half marathon that I may run. I figure it is best to allow some weeks for repeats.

I may not actually run the half marathon but I am going to enjoy the challenge of training. I am going to enjoy the journey and see what happens. So, today was day 2 of week 1. It was only a 2 mile run and totally doable, which is good because it was bit more humid that usual this morning. Yesterday was a three mile run. Running is helping me get my head on straight. It gives me time to think about things and realize that I am doing so much more than I could just a few months ago.

  1. What a great goal for yourself. To complete 1/2 marathon training even if you don't run the marathon. One of the reasons I love to run so much is because I can really think about and process life. Very therapeutic:)

    1. I agree...I find being out on the path is quite therapeutic to me as well!

  2. Sorry that the stair climb turned out to be a bit of a bummer. But running three miles - that's impressive. I've got that as one of my August goals and it'll take me a month to get there. You're right, sometimes the challenge of starting something new gets you motivated. Of course when the challenge is completed or life gets in the way, that's when we (or I) backtrack a bit.

  3. Wow half-marathon training, that is hardcore!!! Looking forward to hearing all about it!

    I struggle with running, I am SLOW and I get so discouraged because I'm not as good as the others in my group but my friend Melissa reminds me that I am doing SOMETHING when so many people, do NOTHING.
