So remember back to my previous post about the New year and I said that I wanted to do something this year that I would remember 2010 by... Well I came up with my brilliant idea, actually Melanie helped me come up with it. so (drum roll please) I will be running the Top Of Utah Marathon on September 18th! Yes a marathon is 26.2 miles and yes I have attempted to train for it before and failed, but yet I am going to try it again. :) Training starts in May and so right now I am just maintaining the three mile base that I will need to have when the training starts. The hardest part right now is juggling the snow and cold while trying to get my runs in. Like the other day I went out to go running, froze in the beginning which is nothing new, but the freezing feeling never went away. So I ran home early before my legs fell off and checked the temperature on my computer and it was a THREE DEGREES!!! How does anyone function in that, let alone go running! So I am hoping that with spring on the way that my 3 degree mornings are coming to a close. Probably wishful thinking, but it is worth a try. Well that is my big grand plan and I can't wait to get started. I have really developed a love for running and I am excited for the challenge that comes with training for a marathon. This is a perfect time in my life for it and I hope everything works out. Well that is all the exciting news that I have for now, Thanks for reading! Have a great day!
Good for you! Good luck training and stay warm!
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people don't enjoy it as much, but as a USU student you could always try out their indoor treadmills until it gets a little warmer... Good luck though! You're very ambitious!
