Prepping for the Race

So my neighbor tells me last October that I have to learn how to run. She wants me to do this Diva Half Marathon with her. I’ve never run in my life, unless someone was chasing me. But I decided in honor of my 40th year of life I’d do this for her  (and for me). What are friends for, right? We started running slowly – like a mile then a mile and a half at a time. We’ve survived injuries, cold weather, burning hot weather, two 5ks and now we are into full blown training mode.

This weekend I am going to run my first seven miles. I ask you: what in the hell am I thinking? OMG. I’ve done two 5ks, but this is twice the length of a 5k and half the length of the 1/2 marathon. I’ll post more training blogs as my journey continues.

This is just the beginning…
