Half Marathon

So I decided to sign up for the Halloween Half Marathon!  I must have gone crazy or something to have done something like this.  Running for me has always been something that i HATE!  I started signing up for 5K's a few years back and they were fun but I never trained very hard for them!  But this is something I can't just go out there and say oh well it's just 13 miles.  That's exactly what it is, 13.1 miles!  So with that comes A LOT of training.  I have six months to train for it, and I am going to need that 6 months to train.  I figure that if I can up my miles by at least 2 miles every month by the time the race comes I will be ready! 
It has always been a goal of mine to run a half and I figured what better time to do it than now!  It is going to take me out of my comfort zone and push me to a place I have never been before, but I am excited for the growth that is going to come from this.  I know it is just going to teach me that I can be strong and accomplish anything I want too. 
 A few of my good friends were running the race too and I thought I didn't want to be left out just because I didn't want to run, so I thought I would just jump on it and decided to join them.  They are great examples to me and I can't wait to run and finish this race with them... Here goes nothing Lisa, and Tiff!

You are going to rock it! You know we can do this. Lots of tears at the end, right?
