Well it's official, I'm registered for my first 1/2 marathon. Last year it was my goal to run one but after hurting my ankle/heel it sort of went out the window. It's a trail run (with hills), in June, so I really have to get my butt in gear. My workouts have mostly revolved around heavy lifting and very little cardio these past few months and that is all about to change. I'm going to have to be running at least 3 days a week, with one long run every weekend, and I'll still continue strength training.
So I wanted to share this with everyone as a way to keep myself accountable. This only gives me 2 months to train for something that I really haven't done in a while. And the way the course is mapped out, all of the 1/2 marathon participants do the 10k loop twice. So, it's easy to just run 6 miles and say forget it I'm done. I don't want that to be the case.
I almost bought new running shoes this past weekend and I'm glad I didn't cuz I'm going to need trail shoes! The trails that the race is taking place at are now open and I'm hoping to be out there on the weekends, let me know if you ever wanna join in on a weekend run! 13.1 (why the .1?) miles here I come ;-)
