It's Official!!!

I'm finally posting a blog.  I haven't done so in a while, so here it is!!!  IT'S OFFICIAL....I am now registered for my 1st ever Half Marathon - Philly Rock-N-Roll series run!  So exciting yet terrifying all in the same.

It's September 18th, Sunday, not to mention my husband's birthday.  He's coming to support me, and I couldn't be more excited and anxious about this run.  I have continued my training, as I started June 27th, and this weekend was no different.

I have now hit my highest in miles to date - 8 miles yesterday.  This was my scary #.  I'm not quite sure why, but it really wasn't so scary once I did it.  When I hit 6 miles, I thought to myself - only 2 miles left.  Not too bad.  I can do that!  So 8 didn't seem as bad as I thought it would.  Now my new scary # is 10!  I'm so proud of myself, though.  :)

Also, I purchased 2 new pairs of Nike running shorts.  They were on sale, since the warmer running season is about to leave us (come fall), so I couldn't pass up the buy.  I can't wait to wear them on tomorrow's run (today's a strength training day).  Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the next few weeks of training to get this half marathon underway.   

Happy running, all!

  1. Yahoo!! Way to go! I look forward to hearing all about your 10 mile run! I know that 10 sounds scary. Especially since its a double digit number but you can do it! :)
