Personal Update - Half Marathon

For those of you that remember my New Year's Resolution...I am planning on running a half marathon this year. So far...well I have not died yet is about the only good thing I can say! Just kidding. It has not been too bad.

I have already trained and ran a 5k...I have sort of done a 10k training program but I will have to officially start my half marathon training on July 9th so I will not complete the 10k program in time.

I did run 6 miles not too long ago. I was so proud that I did not walk and that I actually did not pass out! I did it on a treadmill...but hey!...6 miles is 6 miles more than I ever thought I could run in the first place whether by land, sea, or treadmill!

I did have some hip issues after that 6 mile run...in that my hip protested any and all forms of running for several weeks! In fact my hip was not alone...my knees and feet were not too keen on the idea of more running either.

BUT...I WILL RUN A HALF MARATHON!

So...wish me luck and I will keep you posted.

The goal is to run the half marathon on October 7th up in Lawton, OK. I have a few friends who have joined me on this life adventure and I couldn't be more thrilled to have them along for the ride...I mean run!
