the ultimate challenge.

I'm doing it!  I'm training for this.  A half marathon (13.1 miles).  And by broadcasting it, I am forcing myself to be accountable.  I can't let myself (or anyone else) down!

I'm in a place right now where I am feeling very powerful and uplifted.  I need to do this.  I can't look back 10 years from now and regret not pushing myself to do all that I can do.  I am in the best shape of my life, and it can only get better from here.  I have never been a runner, so this is the absolute ultimate challenge for me.  5Ks (3.1 miles) aren't easy for me, and I'm going to add another 10 miles to it?!  Yes.  Yes I am.

I've been looking at this, this and this training schedule.  I am going to finish out The Shred, and as soon as that's done, it's go time.

    You will make it. I never thought I could run 3.1 miles! The training program will get you there.
