This has always been on my "bucket list" (if I don't first kick the bucket from training). :) I've done the half marathon (13.1 miles) the past two falls and so I figure it is a great time as I'm young, single, and healthy to set my goals high and achieve! Health has been big on my priority list for the past 3 or 4 months. From simply eating healthy and working out a ton, I have lost 22 lbs! I feel great!
I have started training for the big day. A woman and friend from church is a marathon trainer and I meet up with her every Saturday morning at 6:45 am to go for our long runs on the lake. We did 9 miles two weeks ago and hit 7 again yesterday. It feels great to know that by 9 am we have started our day out right! Then, throughout the week she instructs and challenges me via texts and calls. Accountability is the best!
Pray for me as I train. Clearly 26.2 miles is a big toll on the body. My knees need to step up their game and get ready for this long hull. I also am going to be doing a fundraiser for Sunshine as I run, more details to come!! Until then, go for a run. It does the body good!
