13.1 Miles

In just 2 weeks, Josh and I are running the Rock and Roll 1/2 marathon! Why did I decide to spend my 31st b-day running 13 miles? I have no idea.... Well, actually I signed us up back in March to give me something to focus on and challenge myself while I waited for a few things in my life to work themselves out. Josh just got roped into it so I would not have to run it alone :)

Our training has consisted of running one day per week. Josh and I have taken turns on the weekends. We've tried to step it up these last few weeks by running 2-3 times per week and longer distances. Today I tackled 9.5 miles. It doesn't sound all that far until you compare it to a distance you DRIVE!! I felt good but was pretty worthless the rest of the day.

Once you get past 7-8 miles, it is all in your head. If I can tackle running 13 miles, I can accomplish anything i put my mind to....
