If you're like me and have no idea how long a half marathon is, well, let me tell you:
13.1 Miles!
Sadly, you read that correctly. I will somehow drag myself across the finish line after 13.1 miles in January. Why, yes! I have lost my mind!
This is what I call motivation, kids. If I don't have something to work towards and a set deadline, well, it ain't happening.
Now, as I've said - I plan to walk most of this crazy half marathon thing. I'm not kidding myself into thinking that in 4 months I'll be able to run 13.1 miles without stopping, oh no. But, I do know that my ass isn't going to be huffing and puffing to get to the finish line either - I need to pace myself! Start walking/jogging a lot more.
I CAN DO THIS.
You are awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!! I still need to register. I will probably wait until I get paid. I'm so excited!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it!!! Trust me. I have never been a runner. Did sports but was super slow and hated running. I started small like you, worked up to a 10k, and eventually did a half (without walking). It's a loooong way, but if you stick to a training schedule you really can build up to it even if you don't quite believe it right now. I have faith in you! Plus it will make you skinny (I had to eat ice cream every day because I was a little too skinny toward the end there), so win-win.
