Marathon Runner... me?
Well if you knew me a few years back when i was at my heaviest then you would know
that i despised running. I would do anything to not run. In high school my mile was about 18 minutes. Yes i pretty much walked most of it.
Well as everyone knows i've been on an incredible weight loss journey. I have lost 65 pound as of right now. I still have about 20 to 30 to go to be where i would like to be.
My good friend and I have decided to... Run the Utah Valley Marathon this upcoming year!! Yes 26.2 miles!! I almost choke everytime i think about it but its been a goal of mine to do a marathon so i think 2013 is a great year to do it! We run from Heber to Provo! I think it will be beautiful.
Last year i did the 10 k of this run and it was really exciting so to be able to call myself a marathon runner just seems like a dream right now. I can't wait im so happy we decided to do this!
I started training on Monday i have 8 months to get ready. From this week till January i will just be focusing on getting the rest of my weight off. Or at least all that i possible can get off. Then January the official training begins! Im so excited/nervous. I will be keeping a blog on here of my training an how it goes.
Any of you marathon runners out there please give me advice :)
