The Running Continues :)

"You can feel sore tomorrow, or you can feel sorry tomorrow. You choose." 

So a few weeks ago I got all crazy and decided to run a half marathon. What?!

I have been running for over a year now, but I've never considered myself a runner. I ran around the apartment complex, on the treadmill, and sometimes (when I'm stressed out) gone for a run in the neighborhoods around me and find my way back by using the GPS on my phone. (My sister would prob yell at me for this and tell me how unsafe that is...but I enjoy it!)

Running has become something that I actually don't mind doing. I don't love it, but I think I could one day. And that's why I signed up for a half marathon. I wanted to do something this year that I could be really proud of. For me, the first half of 2011 centered around Tommy's accident- it's been 1 month since, 2 months since, etc. Then it switched to the wedding- we've been married for 1 month, 2 months, etc. Now that it's 2012, I spent the first part of the month celebrating life (and crying a little!) because we've hit the 1 year mark. But now I'm ready to continue past the 1 year mark of the accident and stop counting the months. Tommy's accident was something that really made me learn more about myself, my family, my relationship with Tommy, and Tommy himself. It's been therapeutic for me to talk about it, and I will probably still talk about it, but it helps to know that I don't have a timeline going anymore. 

Let the 1/2 marathon training begin!!
