Marathon

This weekend I decided I'm going to do a marathon. My whole life I've said I was going to run one when I was 21. Well I was pregnant most of that year and so I decided I'm doing one this year. If I don't do it now, I probably never will. I looked up some training schedules and found a 16 week schulde that I liked...then I looked up a marathon. It must have been fate because the Utah Valley Marathon is on June 11th, exactly 16 weeks away. 26.2 miles...here I come! :)

P.S. I did my fist work out this morning as part of the training. It was only a 3 mile run and I had kind of a hard time. Haha hopefully I'll get my runner base back and can get myself back into shape in time for this thing!

yikes, good for you girl!!! I'm thinking about doing the HALF marathon. I'm starting to have doubts about how well my body could handle a full marathon though. You will have to let me know how it goes so maybe I can do it next year. I am doing a triathlon in vernal with Mitch this summer--it should be fun.
If you ever need some motivation when the running gets tough call me up, I'll give you some pep talks!!
