I have two events scheduled for 2012 so far and I am so pumped! The first is a half marathon. My first half marathon!
Running a half marathon, in my mind, is very doable for me. I can already run 8-9 miles (with some walking) and only have some fatigue from it the next day. Some friends who have run half marathons have told me that since I can run over 8 miles now, I should train for a half marathon. So I am.
I think this race will test my resolve, determination, will, as well as my mental and physical capacity.
Lake Sammamish is also one of our favorite areas; it is beautiful and the lake is breathtaking. Who wouldn’t want to attend this event?
I had a 5K in April that I was seriously considering attending as well, but their website is down or not functioning, so they may have cancelled it.
Now that I’m not working anymore, I have to be careful how many events I take on. Especially with the holidays, I need to make sure that our finances don’t get squeezed like an orange!
I am looking forward to any events that I can participate in; it’s a little Christmas gift to myself for training my butt off!
What events do you have planned for this holiday season or for 2012?
Happy running!
