Tomorrow I am going to sign up for my first ever half-marathon. Yes, I will be running 13.1 miles in one day, at one time. I think I've gone mad. The race is April 5th. I started my training last week and so far it's going pretty well. I have decided that I am ditching my brand new trail running shoes. I bought them because I thought it would be better to run in them in the snow and ice than regular running shoes. The shoes are great for traction, but they keep giving me blisters in the arches of my feet. I think the arch support is too much or something.
I've always wanted to do a marathon and so I figure this will set me on my way. We'll see how I feel about the marathon after I finish the half-marathon. My goal for this half-marathon...not to be last. I think that's pretty reasonable.
