Half Marathon Challenge.
Hello all!
Last week I decided to do something pretty random. I have set a new goal for myself: run the Oklahoma City Memorial Half Marathon. Not only do I want to finish it, but finish it in 2 hours and 30 minutes. This will be the very first marathon I will have ever participated in and I hope it won’t be my last.
My motivation for this is on the random side and I can’t explain why. I just want to do it. = ) I’ve been exercising regularly ever since last August so I’m used to the exercise. At this point I’m just stepping it up. I didn’t know too much about running and I’ve been reading up and I have to say it’s quite interesting.
I’ll be posting updates each week on my workouts and whatnot. I will even include information that I’ve learned through the process. I have already found a bunch of very useful resources, so I will be sharing them within the next few weeks.
The marathon will take place on April 27, 2008 at 6.30 am so I have roughly 10 weeks to train. Last week I opened a new free account with www.MapMyRun.com. It is an amazing site let me tell you. There are so many resources at your disposal, it’s crazy! (I’ll talk a little more about this site another day.) Right now, for this whole week (four days total so far), I have recorded running and biking approximately 10.67 miles. I don’t know whether this seems like a little or a lot to you, but to me, I’m very impressed. Like I said, this will be my first running program ever, so of course it seems like a lot to me. Today was my light day of a two mile run or a cross train. If none of this is familiar to you, have no fear! I will write about it for sure.
I will be posting daily workout results, so to give a recap of this week…here it is:
