It's Official!!

I've lost my mind. Apparently, for real this time.
Yes, you read that correctly. I signed up Monday. My brother & sis-in-law ran a half Sunday, my friend Wendy is running a half next month & I really, really want one of those 13.1 stickers to put on my car. Seriously. I remember a time when I had no idea what that sticker even meant. The race isn't until December. Yes I know that's a really long way away but I saved $30 by signing up now. Plus, since I've paid I'll be sure to train.

I got back on the exercise bandwagon last week. Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday I went to Yoglates. I didn't run last week because I thought it would be a good idea to not  kill myself by doing both. My first run was Saturday. I ran 1.4 miles, then walked 6/10 of a mile & then ran another mile. It was tough. It didn't help that I thought it was cooler than it was & I got hot.

This week I went to Yoglates Monday evening & Tuesday morning. 4:45 is so early. This morning I got up & ran 2 miles but this time there wasn't a walk break. That was my goal so I was very pleased.

Tomorrow is Yoglates & then Friday I'll run again unless it's raining. If it is I'll go back to Yoglates.

I also signed up for the Komen Race for the Cure that is being held at LSU March 2nd. It's just a 5K.  I should be ready for it.

I've been looking through the app store & googling trying to decide which training plan I'd like to use for the half. There are a lot & I can't decide. Any suggestions?

I'll leave you with this

Toodles!

    Yay!!! You will love it!! I used Hal Higdon's plan for beginners (it's free just google) the first race and then the last two races I've used a modified version of that. Just be sure to get in all your long runs. You have plenty of time to train and increase mileage though!

    Can I simply just say what a comfort to discover an individual who truly
    knows what they're discussing on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people ought to look at this and understand this side of your story. I can't believe you are not more popular since you
    definitely have the gift.
