.running like crazy.


Guess what
YEP...that picture below, it basically says it all. I am OFFICIALLY in training to run my first Half Marathon! AAHHHHHH!! I have ran a few times with one of my girlfriends who is training for one so I decided or was persuaded to run the race with her! So, Dave and I have jumped into training. We only have 7 weeks before the race, so we had to begin on week 4.

So now instead of running with views of the ocean we run with views of the lake. It's not exactly the same, but at least it's still beautiful! So wish as luck as we begin to truly train for one of the biggest races I have ever done. In the past I have only ran three 5ks, so this is going to really push me! 


I'll keep you updated on training as well as inform you a little bit more on why I run. I know that back in the day I thought runners where crazy fools, really why would anyone run, now I'm one of them! 


Wish me luck..because I know I'm going to need it! 
What is a challenge you are preparing for?
