Marathon

I did it....I signed up for a marathon. I am so scared! Here's the funny part: it's my birthday present. Who does that?? I had a really hard time pushing that last "register" button. Do I really want to do this?? Yes, I do.

So why did I sign up for a marathon you ask?? Because I am incredibly competitive and if someone else is doing it, I feel like I have to buck up, lose the excuses and do it too! That's what pushed me.

I found this article with tips for running your first marathon. It was very inspiring. I'll be looking for a lot more of these tips between now and December 11th!


I'm working on my training schedule but my overall plan for the next 18 weeks? Get stronger, faster, and build up my endurance. I'm so excited!

    Kudos to you! I have so much respect for anyone with enough courage to even register for a marathon, let alone run one. I bet that will be a VERY memorable birthday present for sure!

    So proud of you! You can do it! I'll run with you for practice. My goal is to get up to a half marathon status. I'm halfway there now. Let me know if you need a gym buddy. :)

    Thanks you guys! I go back and forth from nervous to super excited! :)

    Mel - I'm always up for a running buddy! :) I'm running 3x/week for my training schedule. I like to do them M&W or T&T but I'm flexible. The long run does have to be early Sat. a.m. due to the munchkin! :)
