Welcome to my blog! Throughout 2009, I'd thought of doing a blog - one that's just for fun to share my thoughts, opinions, and any silly experiences that have come my way. I figured with the new year starting, I better just dive in. Thank you for taking an interest in little, ol' me :)
So, I'm training for the Salt Lake Half Marathon for the second time. "So, you've run the half once before?", you may ask. Wrong. This is just the second time I've trained for it. I was side-lined last year with some crippling shin splints. Hundreds of dollars in physical therapy later, I'm back. I'm determined to run this race!!
I just officially started my training program earlier this week and today was my first outdoor run in a very long time. Now, for those of you who don't know, it is COLD in Utah right now. When I went running this morning, it was probably in the high 20s. Luckily, I have all the right gear complete with fleece lined running tights (which are NOT attractive - the crotch sags and it drives me nuts), a compression turtleneck and my Smart Wool socks. I ran about 2.5 miles, which is "nothing" for some of you runners out there, but I'm starting from scratch and very gradually because I refuse to get side-lined again this year! The run was pain free and that is awesome. Hopefully, this trend continues.
I'll continue to post about the status of my training because the "fun" is just beginning. My runs are just going to get longer and suckier. Not fun for me, but, hopefully, fun to read about. Can't wait! Seriously. I can't.
