This is my second attempt at both a training journal and running the tink half marathon. I am quite the lurker and have been reading these boards for quite awhile and have learned much. I live in a very rural place and I sometime feel that I am running in a vacumn, as I don't really have any one to talk running with, so comments will be greatly appreciated. I am the overly proud owner of an overly proud elderly pug. My favorite ride is the Haunted Mansion, especially with the NBC overlay. Also I love riding the teacups at night. My favorite Dis movie is Beauty and the Beast and I can not wait until the live action movie comes out. I love finding things when I run.
I had to defer my entry to the Tink half due to having to get a new sewer line. I was very grateful to this board to get a heads up on when the deferras were open. It was kind of a blessing in disguise, as i ended up getting quite ill and then not being able to run for awhile due to non running health stuff. I must admit I did do some wallowing for awhile this summer. Originally I was doing a fairly ambitious plan for me to try to get a PR for a half this october. One silver lining was that I did lose about 8 lbs and I have managed to keep it off. I would love to lose about 6 more but I find it quite hard to lose when I increase my milage. So I have decided to adjust my goals, I plan on running my first marathon in Jan with no time goal other than finishing. I am using Hal hidgons novice 2 program. And since I am not fast there is still a chance of a PR for the half.
So basicallly my goals for the next 19 weeks are: stay healthy, have fun and to not miss training runs and i am hoping this journal will help with that.
