Something New

I’ve decided I want to run a half marathon. We have to wait a little while before trying for a baby again and I thought I would get the most out of that time by training and running a big race. I think it will also be good for me emotionally/psychologically to have a concrete goal to work on everyday and something to look forward to. I also hope to lose some of these extra pounds that crept on after I got married and had a baby.

I ran a half marathon in 2004 and 2006, and a full one in 2007, so it’s been a while for me since I’ve done any long runs. The longest I’ve done since then is probably 5 miles. I have some pain to work through getting back in shape, but I found a good training schedule to make sure I will be ready by July 10th. The race is a brand new one in Springville.
