So last week about this time I decided it would be a good idea to sign up for a half marathon. It’s the first Sunday in May. I’ve got plenty of time to get to where I need to be - if I can survive some Winter running.
I’ve already drawn up a training schedule to get me that far, slowly and safely. No stress fractures this go around! I’m excited but terribly nervous too. I should be okay though - I’ve got 6 hours to finish the race. My first half marathon I did in 2 hours and 40 minutes so even if this one includes some walking I will still finish in time!!
The race goes down the Poudre Canyon, a route a know very well. It goes right by my childhood neighborhood, elementary school, and junior high school. It will finish in downtown Ft. Fun!
I’m very much looking forward to it! I’m also looking forward to losing some weight while training.
On a different note...I get my braces off on Monday. Hallelujah! And I’m seriously considering going to the doctor on Monday or Tuesday to have my chest looked at. I’ve had a sharp, shooting pain in my right upper chest for the past eight months or so. It comes and goes but it is getting so bad that most of my day is uncomfortable and painful. I’m pretty sure it came from a certain fall in jujitsu that I remember very vividly. We shall see - it’s definitely not getting better. Cross your fingers for me!
