First of all, I am a very impulsive person. So when my sister-in-law texted me the other day (when I was fast asleep, by the way) to see if I wanted to do the 2011 Battleship Half Marathon in november... of course I said yes! I didn't think about the fact that I haven't run in 3 months or that a half marathon is 13.1 freaking miles, but I was up for the challenge in that dreamy/foggy/sleepy moment. So before I could back out, I went online and signed up. Yep, it's official: I'm going to run a half marathon.
Healthy eating started immediately and my running training started today. I walked 5 minutes to warm up, then ran 5 minutes, walked 3, ran 5, walked 3, ran 5, and walked 5 for a cool down. I covered 2.6 miles. It is a start, and with 6 months left to train for the half marathon, I think I will be ok! Will it be tough? yes. Will I enjoy it? probably not. Will it be totally worth it? yes. And so that is why I am doing this... to prove to myself that I can do whatever I put my mind to.
