So 30 is a thing... and yes I know, most of you are older than me and wish you could be 29 again, dreading 30, but you can't! lol... I figure if there was ever a time to start working out (again) and try to lose a few pounds, this was it! So I decided around the time of my 29th birthday (Dec 17th) to start training for a half marathon.
So I worked up to 5 miles during December and did my first "real" run at the end of the month. 6 miles, on hills. After this run I ate an entire pizza : /
Throughout my training I ...
Spent way too much on running gear. New shoes, pants, GPS watch, waterproof phone case (aka ziplock bag)
Ran early in the morning (weekends only!) and late at night (weeknights only!)
Ran after school with the track students when the weather was nice (well... they were there too, just running a LOT faster than me)
Enjoyed some of the views around my neighborhood.
Took my dogs for a few miles (never more than one dog at a time and never more than 3 miles at a time... expect Freckles, we only walked).
Put in a few miles on the treadmill, but not many. It's the worst.
Ran some LOOOOONNGGG runs.
