What was I thinking?!?!!? 13 miles and I've never run before...for anything...let alone my favorite beer! I found out yesterday that I'm in BIG trouble.
I've been training now for just about two weeks. I don't expect miracles, but I expect progress from myself. So, anyway I go out on a 2 mile run and I'm thinking - no problem. WRONG! It took me 50 minutes to do it. So I think "that must be good" so I call Jessica Cash and ask how long it takes her to run that. She says "about 21 minutes". WHAT??? It took me twice as long. That means that to run 13 miles, I won't cross the finish line till my kids are in bed - God help me!
Jessica made me feel better by telling me" don't think about the time - think about the finish". She said that I have another 3 months to get ready and not to worry. OK...just make sure there are plenty of EMT's along the route for the Half Marathon.
Keep your fingers crossed for me.
TIP: A new schedule for getting in shape is a few entries back. Ryan is a star trainer with an amazing schedule that he put together for me that can be used by many beginners. Check it out.
