But I am back and have a little something new for you. A little journey that I hope you all will want to join me on.
You see it's funny, my last post in September was on September 18th and it was about my birthday, which mind you, was August 16th. But the funny part is that on September 18th I actually did something that I NEVER EVER thought I would do in my lifetime. That day I ran the Corporate Cup 10K in Omaha for the American Lung Association. It was my first race and it was amazing not only to run the race and complete it but to see all of my hard work training pay off that day as I crossed the finish line.
So what happened after that? Well it seems that when there is nothing to train for, I don't always stick with my running routine like I should. So what does any sane, rational, intelligent person do?
Sign up for the Lincoln Half Marathon of course!!
Yep, that's right, I'm running 13.1 miles on May 6th and to be completely honest, at this point I am terrified. But I just keep reminding myself that I never thought I would run 6.2 miles at one time and I did that, so now I just have to do that twice and then some...right? At this point I'm building up my mileage before starting my "official" training program on February 14th - Happy Valentine's Day to me!
So I'm hoping you all will join me on this adventure (I don't mean literally - but by all means, if you'd like my training program, I'd be happy to share it with you). I'll share the ups and downs of training, lessons learned, and hopefully on May 6th a victory pic of me crossing the finish line at Memorial Stadium!! There is no better day than today people, so here we go!!
Oh and p.s. - I'm sure there will still be a fair share of wine reviews, restaurant ratings, and cooking challenges that I will share along the way - just with some tough runs and grueling workouts in between!!
