June 9, 2011

I seriously can't believe that I haven't updated this for over a month, but in all reality I have been slacking off for about that long. It is gymnastics season so my runs have been few and far between. I have only been running 1 to 2 times a week and I even went 10 days without running :(. I got back to it this week. I ran a 5 Tuesday night and a 4 last night. I got the training schedule I am going to be using. Here is the link:

Luckily I have a friend that customized it to me so I will really start training soon, but for now I am just going to try and find a schedule I can do 4 - 5 times a week and then increase the runs as suggested. I can't believe there is only 14 weeks until race day! Whahoo! I am excited to run and excited to get it over with.

Introduction

I think for most people that will be reading this know my story, but for those of you that don't. Here it is. About a year ago I started running with a friend. I have never been a runner and never wanted to be a runner, but after having my third baby and nearing her first birthday I knew I had to do something or I would start packing on the pounds. When I heard a friend was running I decided I would try it. Another friend had once told me that it seemed like after she worked up to 4 miles she started to see a change in her body. After I ran that first time I decided I wanted to try and run 4 miles with out stopping. I was surprised when I was able to work my self up to 4 miles shortly after starting. Once I was able to run 4, I decide I would ask another friend if she wanted to go running. We start running together and before long with out knowing it I was training for the Top Of Utah Half Marathon. I ran the TOU Half last August and I am hooked. I am determined I have to run a marathon once in my life so I am shooting for the TOU Marathon this September. I started this blog because I want to be able to look back and see what runs I did and how I felt!
