sooo I'm running a half marathon on March 20, and Im figuring since it is January 2nd today (and yesterday all I did was sleep), today would be a good time to talk about new years resolutions. I am now 21, a senior at Maryland, and student teaching starting this Monday, all of which are scary but exciting things. Im gonna use this blog as a way to talk about my training for my marathon..its a 12 week program and I started it last Monday. Today is my first long run so Im going to St. Mary's Lake wih dei to run 7 miles once I fuel up. Runners world gave me a personalized 12 week training program and amazing i already feel more in shape. Running alot for me doesnt translate into losing weight, in fact, i prob gained like 3 lbs on new years yesterday lol..but it makes me feel unstoppable an that is an awesome feeling. i could have never done this in high school or at any point until now. i can run five miles easily and still feel great...running also makes me body feel strong and healthy, like i could take on anything if i have to. i love watching m leg muscles work every stride and seeing how far i can go knowing that everyone cant do this. i never ever thought i would lik running as much as i do now, but as i get better at it, i will only like it more, so im excited. its freezing out (high of 30) but im gonna gear up and go because whats if its cold on my race day! ok enough rambling. i havent really thought of my new years resolutions yet, that will wait til after myrun :) ttyl
and i know, baby, just how you feel
you gotta roll wit the punches to get to whats real
