So I've decided on a goal. I am going to run the half-marathon next summer at a race hosted by my mother's accounting firm. 13.1 miles. I believe I can do it. And honestly, for me, that is half of my battle! I'm starting to slowly increase my mileage now so that by the time next July rolls around I'll be ready.
I'd like to say that I will start Week One of training now and go by the book for 12 weeks, but with my life there is NO way I will be successful doing that. Between work and raising two lovely girls, I'm happy to sneak a run in when I can! So I figure slow and steady is what helped me lose 20 pounds in 2 years, slow and steady helped me train for a successful first 5K, so slow and steady will help me train for this half-marathon.
I'm already proud of myself for setting this as my goal. I've been thinking about it for months, believing I can do it for a few weeks, and now I'm announcing it out loud. No going back now. 13.1 here I come!
A place for me to reflect on life as a mom, counselor, wife and new runner.

You can totally do it! One foot in front of the other, and on the days you don't feel motivated, put your runners on and go for a walk - guaranteed you'll be running after a few minutes :)
