My running excitement

I still think it's so funny that I was 40 yrs old before I decided to start running & I seriously realized that I love it. I wonder why in the world did I not start doing it sooner :) I was most excited yesterday because I was able to complete 2 miles in less than 10 mins each, most of my first 3 miles are a little over 10 mins which makes me happy, so now you see why I'm so excited to get the first 2 under 10 mins :)

I know for seasoned runners this probably isn't a big deal but it surely is for this "old" gal :) I'm striving to stay around 2 hrs & 40 mins for the 1/2 marathon on April 27th. Last year I completed it in 2 hrs & 53 mins so if I can beat that time I will be completely E.X.C.I.T.E.D.


I would have to keep an 11 min pace per mile to be able to complete it in the time I want. I know I can do it for a few miles just not sure I can continue for 13.1 so we'll see what's in store :)

    You are doing great. I'm happy with a 5K in under 30 minutes. I just can't even think of a half marathon, so you have me beat. I love to run and love reading about fellow runners. Good luck on beating last year's time!

      Trust me when I say if I can run a half anyone can :) It's lots of dedication but so worth the effort & time put forth. If you have the desire to run one you really should. Thanks for the encouragement :)
