I am going to run a half marathon!?!
Half a marathon. 13.1 miles. How am I going to do this?
So, I love to run! I really do. Through the years running has been my alone time. I will have my husband watch the kids and I go. When I run, I don't care who is around me. I can go and think and not having anyone asking me for juice or crying that their brother hit them. It is totally and completely ME time. When I run, I usually run at about 30 minutes at a time. Running longer distances has been a dream of mine . . . the half marathon . . . . the full marathon. They have been permanent members of the old bucket list!
Dreams.
But who has the time?
I had pretty much gave up on it. A couple months ago, I even crossed it off my goals so that I would not have to see it anymore.
Meanwhile, my husband went on a 3-month long business trip and I didn't get to run much. It was disappointing but I got over it. During this time my husband decided to lose 50 pounds (very proud of you Baby) and did plenty of running while he was gone. Mind you - he never ran before that but he came back after doing a few months of running and decided he was doing a half marathon . . .
I didn't know whether to be jealous or appalled! Well, I guess I was more jealous than anything. But the fun and scary thing is he signed me up to do one too. Somehow, I am going to make the time for training and one of my dreams is going to come true.
I am so nervous.
My first half is going to be the OC Marathon. It is May 1, 2016. 133 days, 5 hours, and 30 minutes to go.
