  • now in training

    So finals are over. No more school to worry about... except that they completely re-did the website for school. It's all new and fancy-like. Check it out!

    On Saturday, I went to my first (orientation) meeting for the Rockin' 'N' Runnin' Marathon Training Program! I decided this is the year. I am finally going to do it.. I'm going to run a marathon! I started thinking about it a few weeks ago when I was thinking about new year's resolutions and all that. But instead of the usual 'I'm going to stop biting my nails' or 'I'm going to stop procrastinating'... I decided to do something that seems a little more attainable! lol

    So, I was looking to do a half-marathon... looking for what dates I might need to train for... and then I ran across this program! They actually do have a half-marathon training program as well, but I didn't know that until after I had already signed up for the whole marathon program! :) so, I figured... with a coach and weekly meetings that will force me to keep up with the program... this is probably the best chance I will ever have to actually go through with this dream of mine. So on Saturday they gave us our shirts, training schedules and shoe tags (just in case I pass out somewhere and they need to know my allergies, blood type and an emergency contact)... my training schedule tells me exactly what I should be doing every day from January through June! I am so excited. Anyway, so yes, I WILL be running in the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon on June 1st here in San Diego! Because...well, why not?! :)
