I have officially been training for a week now for this half marathon. I don't know if we would even technically call it training yet, because it's really pre-training. Official training begins the first week of December, but that training also includes a 5 mile run. Ummmm....... we can't run 5 miles yet. So, that has led to pre-training. Pre-training has gone surprisingly well. Now don't get me wrong, that does NOT mean that I love running and that I want to run everyday. No. No. No. Running is still not my favorite thing, but I do feel good afterward and feel accomplished. I ran Sunday last week with Sarah right when we got home from the beach (figured we had to kick start pre-training otherwise it would never happen). Then Monday and Wednesday Erin, Syd, and I were up at 6:45 to run. Friday (the worst) Erin and I decided to run to Kenan Stadium and do stadiums. Um.... Stadiums are not fun for the record. Erin had a pretty successful day, but I was not feeling the stadiums. Needless to say, they're over with now. This morning Erin and I went to Amanda's and ran with her. Amanda has already run 2 marathons before and is in really good running shape sooo she ran 3 miles before we even got to her house (running with us would not have been a good enough workout for her ha.) The 3 of us ran this loop in a nearby neighborhood and it was on such a great trail. Afterward we went back to Amanda's and had cinnamon rolls and coffee. I would have to say that that was the best part of the entire running experience. It's looking up though, it's looking up. We're getting better and better.... sorta. Tomorrow morning, Erin and I will be up and at 'em before church. It's time to seize the day with this whole running thing...
The updates shall continue... Hopefully in a few months from now there will be a blog on how we all finished the half marathon.... Hopefully being the key word.
