Today is registration day! I am so thankful for my co-workers & friends, who I will be running with, to inspire and encourage me...and to make sure I didn't/don't bail.
The thrill is to get as many women of Camp to run in the 1/2 marathon as we can; to make it an alumni event for all ages. (With high hopes to get our picture in the alumni newsletter!)
Some of us are runners; have ran a marathon before, or a 1/2, maybe a few 5K's, or go on runs weekly and enjoy running. Some of us have thought about running a 5K (but didn't), have thought about going on weekly runs (but don't), and think maybe someday we will enjoy running (but probably won't).
I am in the later, 'some of us'. But, we are all looking forward to new running shoes & matching outfits!
If you haven't signed up, and want to, it's not too late.
For training, I am going to use this Beginner's 1/2 Marathon Training Schedule from fitsugar.com.
Training officially begins the week of January 23rd (12 weeks out from race day), but I need to start running now...you know...since I can't remember the last time I ran more than 1 mile. (Don't judge me, Pete McBride)
Here is my favorite.
13.1...YIKES!
Of course the training starts after I leave! I am sure you will be a natural...Might as well keep the momentum going and sign up for a summer marathon, maybe even an ultra?
