Well it is official. We have signed up for the Walt Disney World half marathon. I am very excited about this journey to get there. I have started running and I am slowly getting to the point where I will be able to see the 13.1 miles in my reach. Right now I am starting off by running 2 miles a couple of times a week. I am also using the couch to 5K running program to help me build the strength I need to be able to do it. I am hopeful to tackle a couple of 5K's this summer and during the fall. This will help me see what being in a race is like. I am very excited to be able to say when it is done and over with that I have accomplished my dream. After I run this half I hope to try out some other races and continue with this active lifestyle. After I tore my ACL I decided I needed to something. I shouldn't just take advantage of my ability to do these things. I will be tracking my progress more regularly now as we are 204 days away. This summer I will be devoting a lot of my time to getting ready to start my actual training program in September. With the help of my friends who have started a running group a couple of days a week in the morning I will have the motivation and ability to strengthen my running a become better and more confident for the race. Marathon weekend will be filled with lots of excitement and I am looking forward to everything it has to offer!!
