Well, it hasn't been quite two months since my last blog update. Apparently its a blog eat blog world out there and I'm not cut out for it. So, in an attempt to try to make this more interesting and interactive I've decided to ask the two of my readers for their support. I've decided (gulp) to begin training for a half-marathon. Why not a full marathon, you ask? Who am I kidding, none of you asked that because you're smart people and we all know why. I'm in day 3 of week 1 of a 25 week training program. As I write this the theme song from "Chariots of Fire" rings in my ears and I imagine myself running smoothly and effortlessly on the beach. In reality, until the snow melts, I will be on the less than state-of-the-art treadmill in the basement of my parents home (watching reruns of "LOST") combined with early (early!) mornings at the high school pool to give myself some cross training as recommended by the "experts"(some guy who has a website and a training guide for a half marathon). So, as day 3 workout is complete my lungs are feeling the effects of breathing deeper (a little sore and coughing frequently as they clean themselves out), sore and stiff legs, and a little stiff in the back and shoulders. So, here we go! Tell me I can do it! Tell me I can't stop!
you can do it! But if you can't, it's fine with me.
