Today is Day 1. Today, I start my journey on my way to 13.1..... And today I will not fail. I have my shoes laced up, my iPod charged, and my body fueled. All that's left is to get my butt out of this chair and out the door. And it couldn't be a more beautiful day: it's 50 degrees and sunny, a rare treat for spring in the PNW.
One of my best girlfriends asked me to join her in running the half in the Nike Women's Marathon. San Fran in October with a woman I treasure - hell to the yeah! I even recruited another friend to join us. We entered the lottery and will find out in a few weeks if we are in. If we don't get in, there is a race up this way that I'm interested in as well.
But, today: This is for me... today I am working on building my mileage in my new shoes. I'm running in minimal shoes now, so it's slow and steady for the first steps as I build up my muscles and get used to running with no cushioning.
