1 week down 16 more weeks to go...

So week one of half marathon training ended Saturday and a new week began on Sunday. Let's just say that I am struggling a bit. I have been on that loves running however, I do like how I feel afterwards. Last week I ran about 3 miles on a very hilly course. Needless to say that was a big mistake, at least for right now. At one point I thought I was never going to make it back to my house and if I was struggling with 3 miles how in the world was I going to be able to do 13.1 miles and live to tell about it?!?! Well in the midst of my little pity party, ha, I was reminded that I do have to start somewhere. I cannot just expect to be able to up and run 13.1 miles easily right off the bat. Rome was not built in a day. I think this whole training process might take a toll on me more emotionally than physically because I like to feel as though I have accomplished something after each run. So I pray that I learn to become more disciplined and develop more patience during this whole training processes. Wish me luck! :)

It's official...I have lost all my marbles!

So this past weekend I was talking with my boyfriend's mom and sister and they talked me into running a half marathon with them. I signed up today and it is official, I am running my very first half marathon. I am very excited but also very nervous at the same time. We are running the Divas Half Marathon in Myrtle Beach. It is a big nationally know race called Run Like A Diva. Hopefully I will be able to blog my training progress for you all. Today began day one of train for a half marathon. I did a 30 minute walk/run. I started out walking Rambo but his little legs only lasted on loop around the neighborhood so I dropped him off and ran the rest. By running more I think it will help me maintain my stress during my final semester of grad school. Please join me in my new journey to prepare for a half marathon!! Now back to grad work.
