Sooo.... I did it. I'm hopefully crossing off something off my bucket list...Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon 2013!
I am nervous, excited, scared and everything in between right now. My stomach jumps and falls every time I think about it. It will be my 3rd Half Marathon but my first 1) by myself and 2) without someone to train with! That's what scares me the most - not having a support system there!
But... if all goes well, my mom, sister, brother in law and the baby will all be there to support me! I'm also still trying to talk Stephan into running it with me. So fingers crossed!
Here's the good stuff:
I also registered for the RASA 5k which is on the 20th of April. That will be my first 5k in a year and my starting point - seeing where my time stands with that and going from there. My co-worker promised to start running with me in the morning to get me prepared but I don't know if she'll still agree when I have to go into the longer miles. I'm also thinking about shelling out the money and finding a running group here to help with so I can get my longer miles in. I'm planning to start my training in early May which should give me more than enough time to get my miles to where they should be. Goal is keeping between my first two times - 2:30 and a 2:45 race.
Thanks, as always, for the support!
