Consider yourself warned, this is by far the craziest thing I've made up my mind to do YET... I'm sure there will be crazier ideas in the future but for now this is it.
I'm going to run a Half Marathon. Yep. Me.
Makenna and I went and saw "Julie & Julia" yesterday and the movie got me thinking.....I could do that. But that would require massive amounts of cooking, eating and would probably cost a small fortune. That would not be good. BUT, I could train for a Half Marathon and blog about that... now that's something I could do!! It's an idea I've toyed around with for a while now, would greatly improve my running and be good for me a the same time. At this point it is only an idea, the next step is to come up with a training plan. I've been looking at a few different ones so I will make a decision on one of them, tweak it as needed to fit my life and fitness level and then I will post it here. I will have the training plan in place so that when I get back from Vermont next month I can start it the week I return. In a perfect world I would be able to do this before the end of the year- which would also allow me to cross off another 'goal' that I set at the beginning of the year- but according to Active.com there are no half marathons going on in December :o( there is however one in Irvine in January. I may not be able to cross it off this year but what an awesome way to start the new year right?? I'm posting this here for a few reasons
- accountability, because Lord knows I need to be held accountable for something....
- motivation, because sometimes there are just things I'd rather be doing than running....
- because I can.
So, there you have it, my 'tentative' goal race will be in January, I will button down the training plan and start it when I return from Vermont. I'm not decided yet if I will try to blog daily and post about each workout or if I should make it a weekly post...more on that to follow.
