i dont really know when or how or even why i want to do this.. i just know that i do.. i want to run a marathon.. actually i really want to do a triathalon (not sure ill make it on the bike though- thats super uncomfortable) but im starting out with the half.. the scoitiabank waterfront marathon - september 26..
but recently ive struggled with the fact if a half marathon is a big deal?! 21km.. doesnt really sound like a lot - does it?! i mean, i can do 5k, that was my regular route when i was running.. so this is just 4 more times around?! right?! but then when i think of the full.. 42km.. 8 more times around.. 4hrs of running.. i think the half is just fine for me right now.. its a big deal! its an accomplishment.. so im happy with that.. im going to run a half marathon!
now, im not really a runner.. not naturally anyways.. not yet ;) i want to be though.. i want to be one of those ppl that loveeee to run. that need to run. that feel that their day is incomplete if they dont run. i want to use running as my outlet into everything.. i want to be one of those ppl that cannot live without running.. im not really there yet.. but am hoping this half turns me into that person :)
i have four months to prepare for this.. i havent really started yet, but this is it.. this is the weekend.. i go back on my real food diet (im not a fan of the blogs with all the pictures of food- so u wont really be getting that here) and i start my training schedule. Im following the running rooms running plan, and will start out with the walk run intervals, with longer runs on the weekends, with some hills and endurance training..
this is it ppl.. im running the half in four months.. stay tuned for the journey.. and wish me luck..
