Gusher 1/2 Marathon Training Schedule

So, I am having such a hard time remembering to get on here and blog and keep everybody updated on my 1/2 marathon training schedule!!!!!  But, first things first, my fabulously amazing husband, just signed up yesterday to run the Gusher 5K while I will complete the 1/2 marathon!  I am so very excited :)  I can't wait to share my running experiences with him and hopefully he will get hooked on it too.  It's just such a healthy habit to get involved in long term.  Running, for me, is a lifestyle.  It's what I do, I run.  It is what I will always do and hopefully my future family...children...will want to do it too.  I feel like my husband being involved a little will help make it a family lifestyle.

Now as far as training goes, here is a link to my actual 1/2 marathon training schedule:

Marathon Rookie 1/2 Marathon Training Schedule

I am on week 4 now and so far so good.  I have completed two 6 mile runs and feel great.  One of my good friends is training with this schedule and I cant wait to race with her that day!  She is rocking out her training too and helping to keep me motivated.  Thank you Sarah Wells :)

As far as training goes, I am feeling great and getting prepared.  I am also trying my best to eat more cleanly and eliminate bad foods from my diet.  I am starting to feel more energized, and better everyday.  Nutritious eating truly does make a difference.  Hope all of this makes sense.  If anyone has any questions about running, feel free to ask!  Happy Running Everybody!!

1st Long Run (1/2 Marathon Training)

Today was my first long run on my 1/2 marathon training schedule.  It was a four mile run, and it was a slow and hot four miles!  Whew.  But, I made it through it and felt amazing afterwards.  I am pretty excited about this training program too.  Other than my 5K training I really don't have any other running experience other than when I was in my early 20s running through college.  Kind of hoping it all comes back to me and I can up my mileage over the next few months without any injury.  Looking forward to next week's long run of 5 miles, but until then...regular training resumes! :)

Happy Running Ya'll!

Running Sick....

....is so freakin' hard!  I am so ready for this head cold and sore throat to go away so I can actually breathe again!!  Did a quick 3.5 mile run today and was miserable the whole time, but now I feel better and am glad I suffered through it.  That's really all I have to say about this one lol...  Hopefully I will get well soon and my runs will be fun again and less like torture.  I must also get back in the habit of blogging... I forget about it now!  Ok, enough complaining from me, hope everybody had great runs today!

Happy Running Everbody! :)
