Half-Marathon Training

I am now officially signed up for the Ottawa Half-Marathon on May 29th! That day also happens to be my 22nd birthday... once I'm done the race I'm definitely going to have a lot to celebrate :)

I have never run a half marathon race before. I am not in the greatest shape of life right now. I am in moderate shape. I am going to follow Hal Higdon's Novice Training Plan in the next weeks to get myself race day ready. We'll see how it goes!

Running a half marathon is something I've wanted to do for the past three years, but I always manage to chicken out. Sometimes I start training, but I get intimidated when it comes time to actually sign up for the race. Well, now there's no backing out because I've already paid the $70 registration fee!

I am excited to start training and get in what is likely to be the greatest shape of my life. My training officially starts tomorrow. I'm going to run 3 miles in the morning........ catch me if you can!
