Crazy Thing Is...

The crazy thing is that I started this whole thing with one little thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to say that I completed a half marathon?!"  A year later, I realized that I had the potential and started training.  That's when this blog started so that I could document the whole crazy adventure!  And, the crazy thing is...I have really enjoyed every bit of it.  So much, that I am even considering half marathon round two with the Eugene Women's Half Marathon on Labor Day weekend.

The crazy thing is that I had the idea.  The crazy thing is that I realized I could complete it.  The crazy thing is I dared to do it.  The crazy thing is that I trained from Jan through May.  The crazy thing is that I actually completed the half marathon.  The crazy thing is that Dan joined me on the whole darn adventure.  The crazy thing is that we were not even last!  The crazy thing is that it was a blast.  The crazy thing is...that I am training again.

I got back into my running shoes on Monday.  Just a little 35 minute workout with the usual 5 min warm up, 3/2 intervals, and 5 min cool down.  Boy, did it feel great!  On Wednesday, I did the eliptical for 30 minutes and strength training.  My poor legs are still angry with me but at least my arms and abs are not too sore!  I think a nice long walk is in order for tonight and a long run this weekend!  I think I will try to stop by the Eugene Running Company to see if there are any training groups for the Women's Half.  Should be a good time!
