I have decided to train for a half marathon. unofficially. The training group that I recently joined has me training for a WHOLE marathon. MY plan is to see where I stand come August and register for a race of the appropriate distance. Funny thing: 26.2 miles doesn't seem that impossible. And 13.1 is likely doable by June or July at the rate that I am going.
I have been a "runner" since about 2002-ish, you know off an on. But more off than on. After hearing through the grapevine that my dad had triple bypass surgery and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and given my own health issues, I knew it was time to do something. I found a local running group and figured that was what I needed to actually get my butt in gear.
I ran 4.5 miles last Saturday. I did walk alot, but I ran more than I have in about two years. And last night, I ran 5 miles. Really RAN, only stopping for traffic lights, etc. And it wasn't that hard!
So check back for updates about fun things I find on my run (like dead squirrels) and other randome musings of a slow ass, but nonetheless, runner!
