Today is the first day...

Of my new training plan. I have recently decided that I am going to train for a HalF-MarAthoN. Yes, all 13.1 miles of it. It is something that I never thought I could do, or that I even wanted to do, but now I have the courage. I used to look at runners and say that they were outright crazy for wanting to run any long distance but now I find myself in their shoEs. Now I know that we are all CraZy! I am looking forward to the challenge and have a plan in place.

I am planning on running the Personal Best Performance RoCk, RoLL and RuN Half-Marathon in August. I have a good base to start from as I already run 7 miles with only minimal discomfort. I am planning on running 3-4 times a week and taking on some cross training. I have about 18 weeks to get my distance up but I know that I can make it. So here it goes....

Today Tomm and I ran 3 miles. Technically it was a rest/ easy run day on my training plan so we took it easy. It was nice to have a running partner :) Tomorrow I am going to run 3-4 miles with speed work. Haven't done much speed work in the past but I am going to give it a try. Seems it is a must.

This blog will document my running and I will also post other health/exercise related information.
